Eldorado, definitely.

I have a bunch of his movies, including some of his earlier ones. I think I have more of his 45 minute movies than his later full-length ones. But Eldorado is my favourite. Robert Mitchum is really good in that one too. My favourite scene in that movie is the one where Mitchum stumbles from the saloon to the jail with his bottle of whiskey. He does that really well. You can see from the differences in the scenes that make up that segment that the acting far outshines the directing. That takes a real actor. And Wayne, in his own way, adds the finishing touch to that scene, making it an actor's masterpiece all on its own. You simply cannot credit the director or anyone else for that segment.

My favourite quote is,

"He's gonna be mad when he finds out you've come up (signed up) on the other side."
"I hope so."
"Why's that?"
"A fella' in his line of work doesn't have the right to be mad. It means he's no good. So the madder he gets, the more I like it."
