Review of Rio Bravo (1959) by Four Star F — 06 Feb 2013
Starring John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, and Angie Dickinson with direction by Howard Hawks, Rio is a great western. A sheriff (Wayne) is faced with a difficult task. He must hold a prisoner in jail while the man's buddies stake out all around town.
His only help is the town drunk (Martin) and a crippled old man (Brennan). To make matters more complicated he takes interest in the new girl in town (Dickinson) and to top it off an old friend is shot (Ward Bond).
Despite the odds and adversary, the sheriff stays touch and keeps the prisoner. Furthermore, the deputies all prove their value, including a young sharpshooter (Nelson). With a great cast and story line, this movie is well worth watching.
Howard Hawks does it again teaming up with John Wayne in the western genre.
