I'm missing something; I thought Big Jake was a John Wayne western movie. Was it an allegory based on a religious text of some kind?

My favorite western of all is My Darling Clementine, the black and white version with Henry Fonda and Victor Mature. It plays like an allegory, but I'm not sure it's a religious one. Maybe the story of David is a long shot possibility. Or more likely I'm just inordinately fond of the Shakespearean actor scene in the saloon.
