Hi
I re-visited this picture to research for my Actor of the Month series it a strange picture a mixture of the old and new.
In his book Brooks by Barry Paris Lois Brooks tells of a shooting competition between Duke and Ray Corrigan.
Quote'One day on the set, Wayne and Corrigan treatyed Louse and the rest of the cast to a Colt.45 demonstration, shootinng dimes off a tree stump at fifty paces. After six perfedt round and the loss of twelve dimes, they called it a draw'
When Bob Livingston left the Mesquiteers Corrigan expected to get the role of Stony Brooke the leader of trhe trio and wasn't happy when the role was given to John Wayne but I think in the end they got along.
Some of the picture is hard to take in particularly the outlaws robbing the bus and the ranchers riding down and attacking the train. The crooks hi-jacking the plane
and throwing te passengers out all be it with parachutes.
The experts or critics in general liked it.
