Overlong but entertaining western. John Wayne is in his wheelhouse with this film.

John Wayne was always at his best in westerns. "El Dorado" breaks few familiar tropes, but it's essential viewing for fans of the legendary actor and his signature genre.

Standard western fluff. The narrative (or lack of) leaves more to be desired. Average material lifted somewhat by the formidable cast.

The story is very familiar as this is a virtual remake of Rio Bravo (and much of it is lifted to glorious effect in Blazing Saddles!), but much more laid back and humorous. Wayne and Mitchum play off each other well, and James Caan makes a very likeable sidekick.
