“Cheyenne Autumn” in which Oklahoma looks remarkably like Monument Valley. Also there is an Indian in that movie who looks like he should be pitching “Riiiich Corrrrinthian leather.”

Other inacurate movies...

THE FAR HORIZONS with Charlton Heston and Fred MacMurray. The Lewis and Clark expitition was far more exciting than they made the movie!

Randolph Scott did several movies, one had the OK Corral shootout at NIGHT, and in another there a shootout with outlaws in Ingalls OK. No lawmen were killed but in the real shootout at Ingalls several lawmen were killed.

And in GUNFIGHT AT OK CORRAL there is a discussion of going into a bar in Oklahoma City years before there was an Oklahoma City.

In THE COMMANCHEROS John Wayne talks about Yuma Prison before there was a Yuma.

There is also a deleted scene in the movie which gets mentioned. When Wayne and Whitman reach the Commanchero hideout, they are recognized by the woman there, and she mentions it to one of the men. Where did she see Wayne?

In the first run on TV of the original movie there is a scene where she is leaving the riverboat as John Wayne is also boarding the riverboat to arrest Paul Regret. they pass each other and he tips his hat to her and makes eye contact. That scene is missing from all COMMANCHERO movies since then.

Disney’s DAVY CROCKETT. One of my favorites but very inaccurate.
Scenes missing...When Davy first meets Thimblerig he tries to find the pea under the thimbles. Davy says the pea in in the middle thimble, then grabs the two outside thimbles and lifts them to show there is nothing there, therefore denying Thimblerig the chance to cheat him.
