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.
Hat's off!
