I'm sitting here at home, doing work somebody was nice enough to schedule me for this evening with the TV on in the background. The John Wayne classic "The Searchers" just came on. I get a kick every time I watch it, because in at the start of the movie it says "Texas" and then the camera follows the actress as she walks to the front porch and you see the view of Monument Valley!
So for those of you who did the Monument Valley ride last June with me near Cortez, you thought we were in Utah and Arizona...we were really in Texas! Fooled y'all!

I was watching a Western once and in one of the wide angle panoramic opening scenes there was a contrail in the sky.

Oh yeah, and the Comanche indians that raided the ranch were actually Navajos, a peaceful tribe.

It's called "Artistic License."

CJ... since you live in AZ... you have to have noticed all the "cowboy" films that were filmed near Sedona, AZ without reference to being in AZ.

I enjoy all of the old John Wayne movies but that particular one doesn't ring a bell with me. Perhaps Ive seen it at one time and didn't get the title. I'll definately have to check it out someday.

This is the one where John Wayne niece (if I remember right) was kidnapped by indians. He and Martin went looking for her for many years. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049730/

She wore a yellow ribbon was good too. I love Victor McLaglen. "I swum the english channel with an anvil on my chest". Classic.
