Never say a Duke movie I didn't like, but I think my favorite was "In Harms Way".

"The Duke" summed up in two min. One of my favorite scenes ever.

Look at those steely eyes................

The Searchers (Ride Away) .... The Horse Soldiers .... Stagecoach .... Chism .... El Ddorado ....


of a different genre .... The Green Berets

So we're El Dorado and Rio Bravo the same plot. With Dean Martin playing the Drunken Sheriff both times.
Or is it just me.
Not a complaint or diss because they are both good cowboy westerns.

Our son Ethan is named after Wayne's character in The Searchers. One of the best westerns ever filmed.

Actually yes, same story but Martin in one and Mitchum in the other. Both drunks.
