Trivia:
Howard Hawks had a joke about the 58-year-old Wayne's age by showing him getting to know a girl (played by Charlene Holt), as opposed to romancing the girl played by Angie Dickinson in Rio Bravo (1959). moreGoofs:
Continuity: Bull's position changes between shots as Cole loads J.P.'s gun and the group gets ready to confront Jason in the saloon. moreQuotes:
Sheriff J. P. Harrah: You thought it was pretty funny, too, didn't you. Well, why aren't you laughing now? Let me hear you laugh![hits Jason with his rifle]
Sheriff J. P. Harrah: I don't know who you think you are,Jason, but I...
Cole: J.P.!
Sheriff J. P. Harrah: No. You're right, Cole. You're a lucky man, Jason, 'cause I wanted to kill you bad!

This is one of my favorites of the Duke's movies, and one of the better westerns of the day. There is a lot of good action. (although much more "theatrical", as were most movies back then)The plot is obviously a near duplicate of Rio Bravo. Although it may not be quite the "classic", it's still a solid film and spliced with humor and characters who go well with each other. I watched this a lot as a little kid, and I was a Duke fanatic for quite some time. I recently uncovered my video copy of El Dorado and watched it for the first time in several years. I relived all sorts of memories of how I used to idolize the Duke. And I kinda still do. This was not his best, but it's up there.
