One of the beter examples I can think of is a John Ford western with John Wayne and the usual Ford ensemble of actors (Ward Bond) in which Wayne plays the "Hondo" character that was leter serialized inot the re-runs I now see on TNT Saturday monrnings! I can't remember the name of the flick ('only your video dealer will know for sure') but it ends with WAyne/Bond triumphantly noting the demise of they Apache way of life.. talk about unsympathetic!
