Movie Reviews of Rio Bravo (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Rio Bravo - a must see
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like Westerns and have not yet seen "Rio Bravo" - buy/rent it today - you will not be disappointed. Yes, Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson costar with John Wayne and Walter Brennan, but it works. Howard Hawks directs this diverse cast in his usual masterful way. The basic plot was so good that it was remade by Hawks as "El Dorado" 8 years later, and others - one example "Assault on Precinct 13". Watch and Enjoy! WP
Summary of Rio Bravo (Two-Disc Special Edition)
When it comes down to naming the best Western of all time, the list usually narrows to three completely different pictures: John Ford's The Searchers, Howard Hawks's Red River, and Hawks's Rio Bravo. About the only thing they all have in common is that they all star John Wayne. But while The Searchers is an epic quest for revenge and Red River is a sweeping cattle-drive drama ("Take 'em to Missouri! Yeeee-hah!"), Rio Bravo is on a much more modest scale. Basically, it comes down to Sheriff John T. Chance (Wayne), his sobering-up alcoholic friend Dude (Dean Martin), the hotshot new kid Colorado (Ricky Nelson), and deputy-sidekick Stumpy (Walter Brennan), sittin' around in the town jail, drinkin' black cofee, shootin' the breeze, and occasionally, singin' a song. Hawks--who, like his pal Ernest Hemingway, lived by the code of "grace under pressure"--said he made Rio Bravo as a rebuke to High Noon, in which sheriff Gary Cooper begged for townspeople to help him. So, Hawks made Wayne's Sheriff Chance a consummate professional--he may be getting old and fat, but he knows how to do his job, and he doesn't want amateurs getting mixed up in his business; they could get hurt. This most entertaining of movies also achieved some notoriety in the '90s when Quentin Tarantino (director of Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Jackie Brown) revealed that he uses it as a litmus test for prospective girlfriends. Oh, and if the configuration of characters sounds familiar, it should: Hawks remade Rio Bravo two more times--as El Dorado in 1967, with Wayne, Robert Mitchum, and James Caan; and as Rio Lobo in 1970, with Wayne, Jack Elam, and Christopher Mitchum. --Jim EmersonJohn Wayne stars as the sheriff of a small western town who arrests a murderer and then must contend with the aggressive efforts of the killer's brother to free him before the state marshall arrives. Surrounding the town the villains make repeated runs at the tiny jailhouse where their comrade is incarcerated. The sheriff is left to defend the territory almost single-handedly -- his only aid being a rag-tag crew of misfits including a drunk an old cripple a saloon woman and a singing teenager. The plot's tensions build to one of the most explosive finales in cinema history.System Requirements:Running Time: 247 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/MISC.
