El Indio and the women

[Juan Miranda]

OK, I've searched to see if this has been covered, but what is going on here?







In the R2 special edition we are told there are no missing scenes, yet these pictures as well as those of the bedroom  scene of Maria Krup and Eastwood covered extensivly elsewhere seem to contradict this. I can understand why such a scene as depicted in these stills would have been dropped. El Indio and women just do not mix at a level of normality. Were these just publicity stills just trying to make the film seem sexy to an audience eager for exploitation?

  Great find, juan, I've never seen those before and never heard of a scene with women existing.  The only thing I can come up with is purely a guess, maybe Indio, Groggy, whoever, brought in some prostitutes before the El Paso robbery?  Like I said, pure guess there.

  Where'd you find the pics?  Maybe someone associated with the website or seller/vendor would have some knowledge?

He got 'em from Shobary's site.

Wowee, these are amazing . Definitely rare. Indio doesn't have a character to mingle with women so casually. This is totally unlikely for him.

[Juan Miranda]

I got them from the R2 bonus disc (hence they are bigger than those at Shobary's site). Sadly there is not a word about them on said disc. Next time I bump into Sir Chris I'll ask him about them.

[Tucumcari Bound]

Wow, great find Juan!!! Those are some cool pictures.

[Le Bon]

Tim's theory sounds a good one. If they were just BTS of the cast relaxing between takes it doesn't explain the presence of the women    Remember also the three colour shots i posted of Monco with some dead bandidos by a river.  We need someone to do a good book on this film.

Based on the response to the stills on the R2 special edition DVD I posted earlier, I thought I'd post a few more.


Just adore this pic of Leone. He is like a big kid, but at the same time an artist totally in love with his work.


You little runt


Between takes I guess, and not an extra scene


Clint doing what Clint does best


You'll be smokin' in Hell!


A "Brokeback Mountain" moment


They don't like anybody there

That's Peter Lee Lawrence with miss Mortimer.

That's Peter Lee Lawrence with miss Mortimor.

  That actor with Mrs. Mortimer shows too much emotion to be Peter Lee Lawrence.  He's showing more facial features there smiling than Lawrence did in all of DRAH!     Great pics though, thanks Juan!

DRAH    I know you mean JPL not PLL

Hoo Ha!?!

  You got me, Le Bon.  My bad.     Damn those those names with the middle name!

I just read the Cinema Retro special edition magazine on The Dollars Trilogy.

It says that these stills are from a scene -- of Indio's gang cavorting with local women at their hideaway -- that was shot but whose film is thougt to be lost
