Talk:El Dorado (1966 film)

Untitled

Well this is a horrible article, whoever wrote it obviously skipped the part about uses sources and not using your opinions. It sounds like the article was written by a reviewer rather than someone who used reviews as sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 20:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC) When someone does fix up this article, try to put info on the plot into the Plot section rather than the Intro. And don't use descriptive words like "excitement" and "wonder" to describe the film without actual sources that say that. Personally I don't get any excitement or wonder out of this, which opinion is more right? The one that says something isn't there, I don't need sources to delete your opinions, you do need them to keep them up. Simple eh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 20:46, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

1967 or 1966? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:44, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I moved it to 1966, everything else said 1966. JesseRafe (talk) 21:26, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

According to the article, it was released in 1967, though, which would make it a 1967 release. When there's a lag between the filming and the release of a movie, the custom is to always go with the release date, which is why Red River is listed as a 1948 film instead of a 1946 one, for one John Wayne example. For another, there's Jet Pilot, which was essentially shot by Josef von Sternberg starring John Wayne and Janet Leigh in 1949 and 1950, with more subsequent work contributed by other, unbilled directors at the behest of Howard Hughes. The movie was basically finished by 1953 but Hughes kept making changes until it was finally released in 1957. It's considered a 1957 film despite the fact that all the aircraft, which was originally going to be cutting-edge and up to the minute, were completely out of date to the point that it was actually a period piece by the time it was released, with everything utterly outdated. My point is, I think it would be safe to call El Dorado a 1967 film. And by the way, there's an obvious reason Hawks wouldn't summarize the plot for Mitchum: he didn't want Mitchum to realize that it was a remake of Rio Bravo, in which Dean Martin had played Mitchum's part.
