Review of Rio Bravo (1959) by Martin T — 08 Jul 2008
It seems that I can only tolerate Wayne when Hawks is directing him. Martin and Nelson make a fine pair of sidekicks. And Dickinson bristles with raw sexuality, a far more complete female character than you see in most Westerns.
I could have done without Walter, one of the most irritating character actors ever. The story is very well-plotted, thoroughly engaging and entertaining. Nice Technicolor and great use of music. And of course, that superb snappy dialogue that Hawks excels at.
