We
continue our search for film locations for “Bullets Don’t Argue”. After the
opening credits we see Billy Clanton ride through the Mexican town to a posada
where he enters and has a drink of whiskey. Meanwhile his brother George is
playing a game of poker with another man at a nearby table. George calls the
man’s hand and he produces three kings. George claims he has a full house but
doesn’t show his hand. When the man challenges him George tells him to ask his
brother Billy what he has. Billy walks to the table and after looking at
George’s hand slaps him and with a nod to the other man suggests he pocket the
winnings and leave.
Billy
then goes upstairs to his room with George in pursuit. Billy has little respect
for his kid brother even after George tells him there is $30,000 dollars in the
bank at River Town and they can easily get it because tomorrow the whole town
will be attending the wedding of sheriff Pat Garrett and it would be an easy
robbery. Billy doesn’t like the idea because it is the town the two brothers
were born in. George feels Billy is afraid of Garrett and when he tells him so
George grabs him and tells him he’s not afraid of anyone.
Just
then the girl singer from the saloon bursts in and George leaves. She tells
Billy how glad she is that he is back but he asks her to do him a favor an
leave him alone.
The
Mexican town used for the scene is Lucainena de las Torres, Spain and is
virtually unchanged from the time the film was made.
