If you loved Red River, try El Dorado
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Howard Hawks, and they sit in Western territory. If that's the register that drew you to Red River, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What El Dorado is
Rio Bravo without the camaraderie. A hired gun and a drunk sheriff team up to defend a rancher against a land grab. The star power struggles to elevate a somewhat rote Hawks project.
