John Wayne made not one, not two, however three Westerns with director Howard Hawks a few sheriff defending his workplace from outlaws.

In between 1959’s Rio Bravo and 1970’s Rio Lobo, the duo shot 1966’s El Dorado, which co-starred Robert Mitchum because the drunken lawman reverse Duke’s gunslinger.

Interestingly, Wayne had changed Mitchum only a decade earlier in 1955’s Blood Alley after he was fired following a feud with the producers.

The two co-stars grew to become good associates and their humour will be seen in how they fastened an on-screen gaffe throughout principal images.

Mitchum’s sheriff JP Harrah had been wounded in the best leg and wanted a right-handed crutch. However, he switched this to the left in a scene when he’s driving a wagon.

The story goes that Wayne made certain that his character Cole Thornton talked about that this had occurred in one of many movie’s remaining scenes to repair the continuity error.

Apparently, director Hawks cherished this a lot that he left it within the film as a wink to the viewers. However, Mitchum’s retelling of what occurred is barely totally different.

Apparently, Mitchum mentioned that he objected to switching the crutch to take care of continuity, however that Hawks had insisted in order that it seemed higher in that scene.

However, when the director noticed how unhealthy this seemed within the dailies, the star recommended that that extra dialogue be added on the finish of the film with Wayne’s gunslinger to cowl for the error.

So, within the remaining scene, each characters will be seen having their crutches underneath the fallacious arm.
