Newt's John Wayne Site

Robert Mitchum plays to perfection an alcoholic but gutsy sheriff who relentlessly battles ruthless cattle barons and crooked "businessmen" in director Howard Hawks� El Dorado. 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.
