TWO RODE TOGETHER
(1962) was the last film in which James Stewart wore the brown,
sweat-stained cowboy hat he'd worn in all but one of his ‘50’s westerns
starting with WINCHESTER 73 (BROKEN ARROW was the exception). This was
Stewart's first film with John Ford, who didn’t want him to wear the
hat, pronouncing it the worst looking one he'd ever seen. The famously
crusty director finally relented – but in their next film together, THE
MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALENCE, Stewart went hatless.
