El Dorado is an old sentimental favorite of mine.
John Wayne's character (who has been in more than a few gun
battles) comes to the aid of his old drunken sheriff friend
(played by Robert Mitchum) to battle ruthless and crooked cattle barons
(headed by Ed Asner). One of my favorite scenes is when Mitchum
returns to the saloon after having been mocked and laughed at on
his previous visit (for being a drunken mess) and butt strokes
one of the guys who was laughing at him. All while saying:
"Come on Laughing Boy, let's hear you laugh now!" Needless to
say, Laughing Boy didn't find it nearly as funny as I did.
This movie shows how payback, western style, can be fun to
watch. A very young James Caan also stars in this film. |
