Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Patrick Wayne and Ethan Wayne are John Wayne's actual sons playing his fictional sons. The nepotism is so thick you could cut it with a Bowie knife.
This was Wayne's penultimate Western and his last with Maureen O'Hara — their fifth film together spanning 25 years, and it shows in every bickering scene.
