Description
Golden Gate Peak can be seen in the background.The landmark appeared in many motion pictures shot at Old Tucson, especially in Sam Peckinpah's "The Deadly Companions" and memorably in the building dynamited in Howard Hawks' "Rio Bravo." The 1959 released classic is revered by French critics and is routinely cited among the top ten Westerns of all time.
"Companions" cinematographer was William Clothier who lensed many of John Wayne's movies including his magnum opus "The Alamo." (1960).
Chill Wills was nominated for an Academy Award as supporting actor as "The Beekeeper" in "The Alamo." He lost to Peter Ustinov in the Kirk Douglas produced and Stanley Kubrick directed "Spartacus."
{NOTE: I met and chatted with Clothier on the set of "Rio Lobo," which starred Wayne. Shortly after taking a shot of Duke I was asked to leave the set. None of the crew members appeared to be under 65, a phenomenon I never witnessed on many dozens of other sets.}
Wayne was loyal to his crew, some having been with him since his bargain basement Westerns shot in a few days in the 1930's.
