Former contract writer for Wayne's Batjac Productions, Burt Kennedy, had discovered the rich comedy buried in the screen heavy Jack Elam.
In "Rio Lobo" Elam served as a comic foil to Duke; seen in the background in this publicity photo used to promote the film.
And further in the background is the bridge and cantina constructed especially for "Rio Lobo." Both were destroyed in the devastating 1995 fire at Old Tucson.
Duke is wearing the belt buckle given him as a gift by Howard Hawks when they made "Red River" 24 years earlier.
Hawks retired from directing after "Rio Lobo."

I first became obsessed with photography and motion pictures while growing up in post WW2 Manila in the Philippine Islands in the late 1940's/early 1950's. Film noirs were a particular influence. But my first love remains the theater. I acted in numerous amateur productions from 1958 to 1978. In 1979 I earned a MA in drama from the University of Arizona; earlier getting a BA in English from the University of Minnesota, where I co-founded the first film society on campus and ran it for four years. While at the U of A, I studied with the master black and white photo essayist W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978) the last year of his life.

Hi, Wayne was called Duke since he was a boy. (Actually he was named after his dog.) He was given the name of John Wayne when making "The Big Trail." His birth name was Marion Morrison. Duke never cared for the names Marion or John. Nobody called him John, let alone Jack. His mentor John Ford was called Jack early in his career. Duke never legally changed his name to John Wayne. Jack Elam, in turn, started out as as accountant. His comedy skills were not utilized until writer/director Burt Kennedy cast him in "Support Your Local Sheriff" in the late 1960's. Up until then he had most played heavies in Westerns and film noirs. DLG.
