Rio Bravo
USA 1959, 141 minutes
Dir. Howard Hawks
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Classics / Western
Feat. John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson
Aroview: John Wayne plays a sheriff who has captured a high profile bandit. With the state Marshall many days away and a gang of thugs planning a raid from across the street; he must depend on a young shotgun messenger, a retired cripple and a heartbroken drunk to defend the shanty jail.
Hawks trades in many of the classic western adventure tropes for a chamber piece that balances it's great tension with a tale of redemption. It's an all time great.

5 stars (Exceptional) Howard Hawks, where have you been all my life? The most beautifully cast, superbly paced Western I have ever seen, and I am a child of the 60s. Loved it! Genius! ~BabyJane
