My Favorite Scene


Angie Lowe: Anyway, I don't believe a dog can smell Indians. I mean, as different from anyone else. You and me, for instance.

Hondo Lane: Well they can. As a matter of fact, Indians can smell white people.

Angie Lowe: I don't believe it.

Hondo Lane: Well it's true. I'm part Indian and I can smell you when I'm downwind of you.

Angie Lowe: That's impossible.

Hondo Lane: No, it isn't impossible, Mrs. Lowe. You baked today. I can smell fresh bread on you. Sometime today, you cooked with salt pork. Smell that on you, too. You smell all over like soap: you took a bath. And, on top of that, you smell all over like a woman. I could find you in the dark, Mrs. Lowe, and I'm only part Indian.

Great chemistry between Wayne and Geraldine Page, despite the fact that off-screen they didn't agree politically and probably didn't like each other.

Page and Patricia Neal were my fave Wayne costars (I didn't always care for the histrionic bluster of the Wayne-O'Hara pairings).
