Directed by Howard Hawks, El Dorado (1966) was the second of three films he made with a similar theme… one in which a sheriff is forced to defend his office against outlaw elements threatening it. Shot in Technicolor, the film is visually stunning. John Wayne and Robert Mitchum are great in the lead roles, each allowing the other room to work. James Caan is wonderful in a supporting role. The rest of the cast is good as well, including Charlene Holt and Paul Fix.
