As you say Arthur,
those are the only 2 Duke films that I know of.
I was unsure as to whether Jim meant
ANY film he starred in as a villian!!
Sorry guys I mis-spoke, you nailed it on the head.

In the films he played with John Wayne he made a sinister villian in some of them, except in the one where he played Matt the Mute and wrote everything down.
My memory of him is that most of the time, he's a good guy, though definitely "an ornery old cuss". Do you remember specific titles where he plays the villain, because off the top of my head I'm not coming up with any.

P.S. Great picture!
Here are a couple more interesting links on Gabby Hayes -
and
http://www.gabbyhayes.org/miscellaneous/images/obituray.gif
What is really neat to me is that when that obit was written, nobody had any concept of people watching all these old movies in any way but as reruns on TV, if that. The last line in the article says, "He still received fan mail from all over the world, including many letters from Africa, where his movies are still being shown."
"We've come a long way, baby!"
He is a real favorite of mine!!

George "Gabby" Hayes is one of our most favorite sidekicks of all! He is such a character!
There were plenty of links for ol' Gabby!

To help maintain continuity, and try to keep things "all under one roof" here is a a post I made, over in "What Was the Last Western You Watched."

While at a local electronics store this evening, I picked up a copy of Don't Fence Me In (1945), with Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Gabby Hayes.
It is one in the Happy Trails Theatre collection, and here's what it says on the box -
Roy Rogers, the King of the Cowboys, and Dale Evans, his saddlemate onscreen and off, host a roundup of Roy's best films, which made him #1 at the box office for all Western stars, every year from 1942 to 1954. The only versions authorized by the Rogers estate, they're mastered with the best available source material and contain added bonuses as Roy, Dale, and their guests recall the "happy trails" they've traveled together!
Plot: John English, who later worked with Roy on TV, directed this 1945 film featuring Cole Porter's famous title tune, in which journalist Toni Ames (Dale) heads West to Twin Wells to seek the truth about Wildcat Kelly. She soon finds out that Wildcat's "friend" Gabby Whittaker (Gabby Hayes), is really the notorious outlaw, long since reported dead -- but when she refuses Roy's request to keep it a secret, somebody shoots Gabby!
Bonus Features include a very enjoyable "Sidekicks" feature which features many of the sidekicks Roy Rogers had over the years, like Andy Devine, Gabby Hays, Smiley Burnett, Pat Brady, and others.
Near the end of the movie, Roy Rogers and Trigger do a little "dance" routine (obviously, Trigger is doing the fancy footwork ). We thought of you, etsija and Senta, and wondered if you would especially enjoy that scene.
A very delightful, mostly lighthearted 62 minutes, with a couple of songs by the Sons of the Pioneers.

As soon as Keith posts a Pals of the Saddle entry for Roy Rogers, we'll make sure to link there, too.
