Interestingly enough though, The Searchers, IMO one of the greatest American movies, with the best American director, and the Duke's greatest performance (ducking now), captures the best of the American spirit, yet is at the same time so dark in places with a plot driven by revenge and an honor killing.

It was a "near" honor killing, was it not. Ethan couldn't do it in the end, which I think was telling. Agreed that it was Wayne's best performance. Close to it was his performance in "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon" - which is my fav. Wayne film.
