Notes

  1. ↑ Filmed as Arizona, the movie's makers applied to the New York State Censor Board for a new title, Men Are Like That, and the film was reviewed under that title in New York and other places.
  2. ↑ Not the radio comedian.
  3. ↑ A Walter Wanger production released thru United Artists.
  4. ↑ Tom Tyler played Wayne's role of Stoney Brooke in some of the later Mesquiteers series.
  5. ↑ These same incidents also formed the basis of the film The Baron of Arizona (1951), starring Vincent Price.
  6. ↑ The change in title was probably done to avoid confusion with an earlier Wayne film called The New Frontier (1936).
  7. ↑ Jennifer Jones' son, Robert Walker, Jr., appeared with Wayne in The War Wagon (1966).
  8. ↑ Namely, The Moon of the Caribees, In the Zone, Bound East For Cardiff, and The Long Voyage Home.
  9. ↑ When the film was re-issued in the 1950s Wayne and Susan Hayward received top billing in the advertisements.
  10. ↑ This story was also filmed in 1914, 1922, 1930 and 1955 with, respectively, William Farnum, Milton Sills, Gary Cooper, and Jeff Chandler in the Wayne role. Farnum also plays a supporting part in the Wayne version.
  11. ↑ This was Clift's first film, although the second one he made, The Search (1948), was released before Red River.
  12. ↑ Also filmed as Marked Men (1919), Hell's Heroes (1930), and Three Godfathers (1936) with, respectively, Harry Carey, Charles Bickford, and Chester Morris in the Wayne role.
  13. ↑ One of only three sound films Hardy did without comic partner Stan Laurel.
  14. ↑ The working title for Rio Grande was Rio Bravo, which was also the title used for a 1959 Wayne Western. The title Rio Grande had been used for a 1949 B-Western starring Sunset Carson.
  15. ↑ The character Wayne played here and in Fort Apache is the same character (just as it is in the short stories on which they are based), but here the character's last name has an added "e".
  16. ↑ Ward Bond plays a movie director named "John Dodge", an obvious spoof of the film's real director, John Ford.
  17. ↑ Produced by U.S. Information Agency.
  18. ↑ Reputedly, Curtiz was extremely ill during the shooting, as a result the majority of the film was directed by Wayne who refused to take credit.
  19. ↑ James Stewart received top billing over Wayne in the film's advertisements, but Wayne has top billing in the film's opening credits.
  20. ↑ Wayne had originally played Sherman in an episode of the TV series Wagon Train entitled "The Colton Craven Story." That episode was directed by John Ford.
  21. ↑ Technicolor prints were apparently used for only the Cinerama presentation while general release print used Metrocolor.
  22. ↑ Aside from the documentary film Chesty: Tribute to a Legend (1976).
  23. ↑ U.S. Department of Defense / Armed Forces Information & Education.
  24. ↑ Walker Jr's mother, actress Jennifer Jones, made her film debut opposite Wayne in New Frontier (1939).
  25. ↑ Vera Miles appeared in some scenes as Wayne's wife, but these were cut from the final print.
  26. ↑ George Plimpton made a TV documentary about the making of this film. In this documentary, entitled "Shoot-out at Rio Lobo". Wayne frequently accidentally referred to Plimpton as "Pimpleton".
  27. ↑ Warren Oates would play Rooster Cogburn in a 1978 TV film entitled True Grit: A Further Adventure.
