The Searchers (movie)

John Wayne's catchphrase in the film, "That'll Be The Day", inspired Buddy Holly to write his hit song of the same name. Many non-manufactured restaurants (including franchises like Denny's) have copied the look of 1950s diners for nostalgic appeal, while Waffle House uses an interior layout derived from the diner. However, in the latest 2002 poll it fell back to eleventh place. The diner's cultural influence continues today. At eighteenth place in 1972, it climbed to fifth place in 1992. In movies and television, diners (along with soda fountains) symbolize the period of prosperity and optimism in the United States of the 1950s. They are shown as the place where teenagers meet after school, and an essential part of a date. In 1972, The Searchers made its first appearance on the Sight and Sound poll of the greatest films ever made. Those of the 1950s use stainless steel panels and glass block trim.

Peter Bogdanovich said of The Searchers that "the bold, vigorous strokes of The Searchers...require more artistry than the direction of The Informer." Another powerful factor is the famous depth of character, the best example being John Wayne's actions in the twist ending. Diners of the 1920s–1940s feature Art Deco elements or copy the appearance of rail dining cars (Some are, in fact, refurbished rail cars). Certainly a contributing factor to The Searcher's popularity is the fact that Ford's trademark calm style and wide shots are almost thrown to the wind in this film: it contains perhaps Ford's most radical camera movements and setups. The decor varied over time. Director John Ford's reputation was incredible: Ingmar Bergman, Orson Welles, Howard Hawks, Akira Kurosawa, Frank Capra, Elia Kazan, Samuel Fuller and many others described Ford as the greatest living director. Larger models may have a row of booths against the front wall and at the ends. It is a favorite of the film school 'Movie Brats' generation including Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg. A service counter dominates the interior, with a preparation area against the back wall and floor-mounted stools for the customers in front.

The Searchers is an often cited candidate for the greatest film of all time. Like a mobile home, a diner is narrow and elongated to allow transportation on a flatbed trailer. Broken Arrow) the Native Americans are shown in a negative light, rather disturbed characters themselves, massacring white settlers, and even sexually assaulting them and abducting their children. During this period diners spread beyond their original market to the Midwest. However, unlike some revisionist Westerns of the 1950s (e.g. After World War II, as the economy returned to civilian production and the suburbs boomed, diners were an attractive self-employment opportunity. The West is shown as a threatening, even slightly sinister place. Diner manufacturing suffered with other industries in the Depression.

Wayne's character, Ethan Edwards, is shown as a brooding and disturbed character. With the rise of the automobile, diner manufacturers produced more fixed-foundation buildings. The film can be interpreted as a subtle critique of the sort of Westerns that Wayne normally appeared in (although Wayne himself would probably have disagreed). Until the Great Depression, most diner manufacturers and their customers were located in the Northeast. The film has been deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. The first manufactured dining wagons with seating appeared in the late 19th century, serving busy downtown locations without the need to buy expensive real estate. It was directed by John Ford, and much of it was filmed in Monument Valley, Arizona. Like the catering wagon, a diner allowed one to set up a food service business quickly using preassembled equipment.
