"Mon-soor, you are a looloo!!!"

This is my favorite old Western movie about a Texas Ranger who teams up with a fugitive from Louisiana to stop a major gunrunning and bootlegging operation.
Jake Cutter (John Wayne) arrests "Mon-soor" Paul Regret (Stuart Whitman), a man of French ancestory who had shot and killed a man in New Orleans during a duel in 1843. Even though duels were commonplace in those days without fear of prosecution, the man who lost it was a judge's son, so Regret is a fugitive on the run.
Paul Regret meets a handsome, liberated woman named Pilar (Ina Balin) during gambling on a riverboat and falls for her, but she is a matter-of-fact, rather worldly sort whose frank nature makes her intimidating to men and an outcast with other women. We don't learn about her whole background until later in the film, but she is a very intriguing character.
Cutter the Texas Ranger catches up with "Mon-soor" and arrests him, with promises to take him back to Louisiana to be hanged. There are some great moments as they get to know each other, but it isn't long before Big Jake is thwarted and Mon-soor is on the run again.
Later on, Cutter takes an undercover assignment to bust a huge gun-running operation orchestrated by the Comanches, a notorious tribe in Texas, disguising himself as Ed McBain and hooking up with the operation's main contact, Tully Crow (the always very fun Lee Marvin). Things don't go too well, as Crow proves to be such a mean, menacing drunk, that Jake has to shoot him out of self defense.
By luck, Mon-soor Paul Regret happens to have been present for this occurrence, and because he proves to be such a good ally for Jake Cutter, the Texas Rangers arrange an alibi for Regret and he is off the hook for the killing in New Orleans. Then the two are assigned to infiltrate the Comanche weapons operation, where they run into not only a ruthless, merciless organized crime-ring, but Paul Regret's flame from the riverboat, Pilar, the daughter of the founder of this operation.
I liked this movie a lot because of the comedy, the great characters and the excellent storyline. It's my favorite John Wayne movie.
