El Dorado (1966)
4/10
Why give Hawks and Wayne a pass?
19 November 2020
Nothing original took place in this film asides from pairing Mitchum and Wayne. We see another story about cattle ranchers stealing water rights. The supporting cast is dull. Our female stars are totally unbelievable, in particular due to their hair and makeup. The movie takes over two hours to reach a pre-determined end. And the studio sets look like garbage with colors clashing all over the place.

This was no B-movie. It had a healthy budget for it's time with two big name actors getting top billing. Venerating certain directors is not criticism, it's worship.
