DAMN. The subtext was HEAVY. Do you think many audiences got that subtext in the 40s? Eldergays? Any of you remember this?
This is hotter than anything Sean Cody or Randy Blue could ever hope to produce.

That's one of the clips from the very funny Oscar montage about "gay westerns" the year Brokeback was nominated:

That clip is also deconstructed in "The Celluloid Closet" which is, I think, still running on Netflix.

It's all about Monty. You can build a S&G around him!
Hawks also stanned the fuck out of Mitchum's sweaty, grimey, drunkard's torso in El Dorado. Appropriately slumbers out from behind empty jail bars.

I dunno if it is ALL about Monty. I think John Ireland is pretty damn dreamy in that clip, too.

John Ireland was HOT in OPs clip.
An even gayer movie is The Outlaw in 1943. (Despite Jane Russell getting all the publicity for it).

Did John Wayne pick up on how homoerotic Red River was?

Damn, John Ireland's piece was nearly to his knees!

They say he had an affair with Joan Crawford on the set of one of their movies. I can see why.

John Ireland did not have the Irish Curse.

Damn! Did he work pre or post production code?

Post, unfortunately. I bet when he was fully hard, he could touch an object across the room with it.

I love Walter Brennan's comment to the handsome cowpoke about Ireland and Clift at the end of the clip: "They was havin' a pee-culiar kind of fun....."

I don’t think audiences in the ‘40s were totally naive. The pre-Production Code films show that Americans were fully clued-in about sex, and it’s hard to believe people forgot that just because Hollywood tried to sell them cleaned-fantasies.

His huge dong is so noticeable throughout The Bushwackers that he slyly tries to cover it up in some scenes.

R9, Probably. Mr. Wayne was not naïve to homo sex.
