"Dark Command" (1940)

Last night, I watched Dark Command (1940) starring Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Walter Pidgeon, George "Gabby" Hayes, Marjorie Main and a young Roy Rogers.

From Wikipedia:

Dark Command is a 1940 Western film starring Claire Trevor, John Wayne and Walter Pidgeon loosely based on Quantrill's Raiders during the American Civil War. Directed by Raoul Walsh from the novel by W. R. Burnett, Dark Command is the only film in which western icons John Wayne and Roy Rogers appear together, and was the only film Wayne and Raoul Walsh made together since Walsh discovered Wayne working as a prop mover, renamed him, and gave him his first leading role in the epic widescreen western The Big Trail a decade before.

The film also features George "Gabby" Hayes as Wayne's character's sidekick.

The film was nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Art Direction by John Victor Mackay.

I was perusing around for photos of the movie and found these gems:
