As was the case in his later films, Duke had a stunt double and he was left very disappointed by how obvious it wasn’t him in Chism’s final fight scene between his character and Forrest Tucker’s Lawrence Murphy.However, something that really cheered up the star on set was an interaction he had with John Mitchum that left him profoundly touched. The Baker actor was the brother of Robert Mitchum, who Wayne had starred opposite in 1967’s El Dorado.
