Thanks Gregor.
By the time the movie "Rooster Cogburn" (also starring John Wayne) came out, we were old enough and my parents had mellowed enough, to let us go see it.
If I remember correctly though, there were at least one or two scenes where my Mom was pounding on my Dad's arm that we should all walk out and make a self-righteous JW scene.
We learned pretty early on to NOT go to a movie with our parents.
