similarities in El Dorado & Rio Bravo. Either I never realized it or in my mind I blended them together. LOL. I found this:

Both were directed by Howard Hawks.

Both star John Wayne as the strong lead character, of course.

Both have him fighting off a large group of bad guys working for some powerful bad guy -- not uncommon in westerns.

In both movies he has someone locked up in a jail cell and is trying to keep him there.

A lot of both movies takes place in the Sheriff's office/jail.

The supporting cast is where it really gets almost identical. In both movies he's got 3 guys helping him fight. They are:

1. The washed-up drunk of a Sheriff who is the laughingstock of the town, but dries out and redeems himself. (Dean Martin and Robert Mitchum.)

2. The young good-looking kid who is fast with a gun and nicknamed after a state. (Ricky Nelson as "Colorado" and James Caan as "Mississippi".)

3. The grizzled, cranky old jailer who everyone underestimates in a fight. (Walter Brennan and Paul Fix.)

A drunk will run a STOP sign, but a stoner will wait for it to turn green.


Dean Martin was The Man. Underappreciated these days.

The best was when he'd just sit there and smoke and drink and laugh during the celebrity roasts. Homey'd just sit there with slicked back hair, firing up one lung dart after another.

Those were the days.
