The big one with The Duke and The Look–Wayne and Mitchum together
“El Dorado” pairs up two great movie stars in their element-the western. This was the first time John Wayne and Robert Mitchum had co-starred in a western, and the result was good, solid western entertainment. One wishes it could have happened again.

The Duke plays Cole Thorton, a gunman, who has been hired by a land baron in Texas to assist in taking over some much-needed water land, and, if necessary, put an end to interference that the sheriff, played by Mitchum, would offer. Unbeknownst to the land baron, Thorton and J.P.Harrah are friends from the war, and Thorton decides to ride away from the job.

A few months later, Thorton returns to El Dorado to warn Harrah that a new threat will be coming to the town, and he finds that the sheriff has become the town drunk, due to a fouled-up romance. Thorton now has to help J. P. get his skill back, prevent the range war from busting out, while keeping a young sidekick, Mississippi, played by James Caan, alive and healthy. There is also a good performance turned in by Arthur Hunnicutt, as Bull, J.P.’s deputy who stands by the sheriff, even in times of drunken sprees.

There are some similar elements to other Wayne films, notably “Rio Bravo” and “Rio Lobo”, but the chance to watch two big stars work off each other, makes this one easy to take.

Beautiful title song
In El Dorado, John Wayne and Robert Mitchum play old friends who reunite in a western town to try and keep the peace between two rival families. Bob is the town’s sheriff, but his drunken ways have lost him the respect of everyone in town, hence the need for John to come and help. There’s also a powerful family trying to buy up all the land in town, and the two cowboys quickly make some enemies. Meanwhile, they take a trigger-happy James Caan, who’s out for revenge, under their wing. And love interest Charlene Holt turns out to have dated both leads, wo which one will she choose to settle down with? Or, the better question is which fellow feels like settling down with her?

As much as I hate to admit it, this has the “old folks still got it” flavor to it. Bob’s character has some comic relief in him, like getting embarrassed when people walk in on him in the bathtub. Pretending to protect his modesty, he covers his own eyes. In another scene, he cries when the townspeople laugh at him. I think it’s supposed to be funny, but I just felt bad for him. John also has the “I’m old” feel to his character, especially since he’s charged with training and looking after a younger “replacement” in James.

The movie isn’t a strict comedy, though; far from it. For western comedies, I prefer Dirty Dingus Magee, but El Dorado isn’t the worst western I’ve sat through. It’s not my favorite, but I’d watch it again, if only to hear the lovely title song.
