When Marty gets up from getting water at the creek, the knees of her trousers are wet.

However, they are dry in the next shot as she and Jim are walking back to camp.

About 1:16 into the film, when the townspeople are discussing the fate of the boy rescued from the Commanches; Willis Bouchey, John Qualen and Paul Birch turn and walk out, passing Shirley Jones and those remaining in the room.

Qualen and Richard Widmark then have a brief shot at the doorway and Qualen exits.

The next shot shows the group, including Qualen, again walking past Jones and the others on their way to the door.

Reviews

Marshall McCabe(Mr J.Stewart) combines his duties as a law man with the rather less onerous task of being a pimp/entrepreneur and go - to guy.

Under the moons light were the swingers and dancers playing the only game on the menu. Lots of people in this lifting their body weight up and putting it where it could be seen.

Jimmy Stewart, towards the end of his "Western" days. co-stars Widmark, Shirley Jones, and of course, if it's a western, Andy Devine is the sidekick.

It's big, loud, blowsy, breezy, glib, heartening and heartrending, larger than life, colorful, fulsome, winsome, .... all the schmaltz and schlock and superficial sentimentality that Hollywood loves to throw at you.

It carries the mark of Ford. Two young men are competing for the same girl.

"Two Rode Together" is considered by many to be one of John Ford's lesser westerns (including Ford himself). It's basically a vehicle for the film's two stars James Stewart and Richard Widmark.

No wonder director Ford considered the movie "crap". That may be a little too strong, but the results are definitely sub-par for the legendary filmmaker.

Before there was Martin Scorcese there was John Ford, chronicler of people and things nobody actually cares about, done in ways that romanticize the banal, for the most part.Richard Widmark rises well above the material here.

Marshal Guthrie McCabe (James Stewart) is an amoral glad-handing town leader in Texas. First Lt.
