Rio Bravo is great western ever made. I saw as little and I wanted to be John Wayne and fight bad guys. John Wayne is at his best in Rio Bravo and you just got like Ricky Nelson as a young gun slinger and Angie Dickinson, is beauty to look at. A great movie from director, Howard Hanks in 1956. Legendary West, in likes of Red River, another great western to watch, sometime.

Dean Martin did a good job of acting but Ricky Nelson was too young and boyish to be in this western and that is why he did not have a big role. It is not a favorite of mine but I will keep it in my collection.

Rio Bravo, one of a trilogy of movies (along with El Dorado and Rio Lobo) written by Leigh Brackett, produced by Howard Hawks, and staring John Wayne. Each has the same basic plot with just the actors and setting changed. In this one, Wayne as Sheriff John T Chance, aided by a drunken deputy (Dean Martin), a crippled jailer (Walter Brennan), and the son of a tough lawman (Ricky Nelson) fight to keep a prisoner locked up till the judge can arrive. Angie Dickinson provides a romantic interest for Wayne. In a departure from other Wayne films, the principal actors get together in a sing along including Wayne, something he hasn't done since his very early days in westerns. The storyline, while repetative, is a tried and successful one. The actors mesh well and give fine performances. All in all, not a bad way to spend an hour and a half or so.Read full review
Classic 1959 Duke Wayne western fare, directed by the great Howard Hawks, wherein Wayne is sheriff in a small southwest Texas town. He arrests a murderous bad guy, who happens to have a well connected brother, a big business / gang leader. So forces are out to free the bad guy, but they are held off by Wayne and his interesting bad of helpers - gimpy Walter Brennan who guards the office/jail, recovering alcoholic but crack gunman Dean Martin as an ex-deputy who is re-deputized, and Ricky Nelson as Colorado Ryan, a 21 year old gunslinger. Dean and Ricky sing a duet! Ancillary characters are the sheriff's ex-lover Angie Dickinson who comes to town and helps the cause, Ward Bond, always a part of the Duke's stable of actors as an old pal who comes to town and wants to help out, Gonzalez Gonzalez as the saloon owner, who helps out, and a big wagon full of dynamite which helps out eventually. Long but fun technicolor saga. Read full review

In my opinion, this is one of John Wayne's best movies. It has everything you could want - action, great plot, wonderful characters, excellent cinametography, and top knotch acting. If you've never watched it, you are in for a treat!
