El Dorado

This is the greatest film ever made.

I thing this is just about my most favorite John Wayne movie. He and the other characters are just like what I remember when I was growing up and watching his films on TV. I have watched it several times.

A terrifically fun film featuring the looser, more enjoyable Wayne of the 2nd half of his career -- though enormously similar to the wonderful Rio Bravo, it has its own set of charms, not the least of which are Robert Mitchum as the drunk Sheriff; a young James Caan as a knife-throwing, shotgun-blasting ally; Charlene Holt and Michelle Carey as atypically strong women for the genre; veteran character actor Arthur Hunnicutt as a lean old coot loaded with funny retorts as well as a bow and arrow; and Ed Asner taking a turn as the town land baron and bully. Like Rio Bravo, its the kind of Western you can watch over and over again and always come away smiling.

Good movie

This movie still remains one of my favorite westerns. John Wayne, in fine form, plays his stock character, the Rattlesnake-quick hired gunfighter, but with one problem--A bullet in his back from an old injury causes paralysis in his gun hand at the most inopportune moments. In the end, he is forced to resort to trickery to defeat the villian of the piece, another hired gunfighter played with icy calmness by Christopher George. The Duke begins to show his age in this movie, but just like fine wine he only seems to improve as he gets older. Also included is the unforgettable Robert Mitchum, as the sheriff on a full-fledged drunken bender. The two actors complement each other quite well, although sometimes it seems they compete for the camera. Also included in the cast is a very young (but still unmistakable) James Caan, the beautiful Charlene Holt as The Dukes long-suffering girlfriend, and Arthur Hunnicut as the noisy, loveable old coot who, along with Caans character, provides some strong comic relief. If you dont recognize either of those last two names, dont worry--I didnt either. Note to parents: While there is a lot of gunplay and fistfighting in this movie, remember, it was made back in the 60s--blood and gore are kept to a minimum.

It a great show all star cast what more can i say

It was good to see this old John Wayne movie. Quality of picture was pretty good but not great but still an enjoyment to watch.

Good movie . The witty dialogue holds up well after all the years. John Wayne is always good.

It’s a good rental. I decent balance of action and humor.

Great addition to my movie collection. Reasonably priced, expedited shipping, well packaged to prevent damage to disk and/or case. Also has saved valuable time plus milage and gas by doing away with store to store shopping.
