El Dorado
'I'm paid to risk my neck. I'll decide where and when I'll do it. This isn't it.' Now a two-disc presentation with all-new special features, this Paramount Centennial Collection edition of El Dorado delivers the goods. Legendary producer-director Howard Hawks teams up with two legendary stars, John Wayne and Robert Mitchum, in a classic Western drama. Mitchum plays to perfection an alcoholic but gutsy sheriff who relentlessly battles the 'dark side' of the Wild West -- ruthless cattle barons and crooked 'businessmen.' The Duke gives an equally adept performance as the sheriff's old friend, one who knows his way around a gunfight. Featuring a supporting cast that includes James Caan, Charlene Holt, Paul Fix, Ed Asner and Christopher George, and filled with both brawling action and unexpected humor, El Dorado is pure gold.

Howard Hawks is too good a director to depend upon stereotyped violence to keep the interest of the audience, and his well-made scenes between Wayne, Mitchum, Arthur Hunicutt and James Cann never lag for a moment.
February 07, 2017
Classic Western has violence, alcoholism, stereotyping.
October 21, 2013
Hawks makes a familiar plot resound strangely with a new set of sexual overtones.

Vivid story telling and a late take on the Western genre as a whole.

Winningly sly western.
