Have to see I really enjoy Gabby Hayes whenever I see him, he really improves those old B movies of Duke's whenever hes in them. I love the whole idea of the older/comedic foil for the main stars in Westerns aswell adds alot to the story. I wonder if Walter Brennan based his performance in Rio Bravo and indeed other sidekick performances with the likes of James Stewart on Gabby.
