Oh, I think I preferred Bogart here to The Oklahoma Kid, though that's not a surprising difference given how we differed on that film. It was strange because I didn't realize he was supposed to be a Mexican "bandito" (thought he was just American) until halfway through the performance, but that didn't bother me. I liked the character and how he fit into the overarching story, and I liked how Bogart played him.
As for ranking, that is difficult, especially this early. Ranking based on who I would most be excited to see in a Western, but I will go with:
1. James Stewart (have only also seen Liberty Valance, so perhaps premature)
2. Errol Flynn
3. John Wayne
4. Clint Eastwood
5. Henry Fonda
6. Randolph Scott
7. Gary Cooper
I like them all honestly, so the rankings are very tight with not a ton separating them at this point. I think once I have seen some more Cooper, Scott, and Fonda, they may also compete at a higher level.
