I dont think ive seen El Paso but, on one of my DvDs, Payne is in some two reeler as the leader of a travelling acting/musical troop-and they put on a special show for a boy King whom Payne rescues from a few disloyal subjects.
On a review for Unconquered, Simply put, this movie is yet another De Mille/Cooper masterpiece. I dont think the cast could have been improved upon with the exception of having Duke in the Cooper role and McLaglen in the role of Jeremy. However, since they were not picked for being in this movie-the cast is impossible to improve upon IMO.
You will not find any slow parts in this movie and you will always be kept gripping the edge of a table with both your hands-thanks to the many twists and action scenes. De Silva and Mazurky both are great as two of the bad guys in this movie.
Not part of a review: I will be looking for more images from this movie and hopefully some will be in color.

Hi Jim, ive loved this movie from the first viewing as well. When I was much younger and many years before cable TV, this movie was usually played maybe once a year and only late Fri or Sat night. This is the first movie with Gary Cooper I watched-mainly because the Tv stations never played anything else with him in them-with maybe the exception of: Vera Cruz-but that I cant confirm of having watched before cable came to town.
Ive always liked Howard de Silva as well. Its been ages since ive seen Tripoli and I wish it were on DvD. I think John Payne is a way underrated Actor and one who gets all too little airtime. In fact, the only I have of him on DvD is: To the Shores of Tripoli w/ Maureen O'Hara & Randolph Scott. This is the movie that made me start liking Randolph Scott-Gung Ho also helped. -
Hi Keith, many many thanks for making a tread for this one> I have always loved that movie and I noticed that early in Lloyd Bridges career, he always seemed to be playing British Soldiers and Officers. He's a youngish "Redcoat" in this movie. Also, Ward Bond does have a good amount of screen time in this movie-as Coopers friend.
De Mille as always dis one heck of an excellent job of his "movie magic" as alweays. I cant really add much more to this escept that I give it a 10/10 as a great Cooper, Bond, De Silva, Goddard movie. Im hoping to find more stills for this movie that are worth pestering Keith about to have them posted here ;-)) A certain Gentleman member here has greatly revived my interest in collecting these things ;-)) and hope he sees this thread soon ;-))
