Rio Bravo is one of a handful of movies (inspect also The Level-headed Man) that belies the one-note, tough-guy stereotype that so many people associate with John Wayne. Here he is endearing (his scenes with Walter Brennan are hilarious and agreeable) and, dare I say, even somewhat sensitive in his enjoy scheme (his firm blueprint of “treatment” for Dean Martin’s alcoholic character is something a counselor friend of mine finds priceless) . The rest of the cast is unbelievable as well: Brennan is cranky, Martin is wounded but charismatic, Angie Dickinson is sly and assured and Ricky Nelson, surprisingly, does more than objective fill his hold and glimpse graceful (*and* he sings a duet with Dean Martin) . Everyone keen here obviously had a ton of fun making the movie, but more importantly the film exudes that sense of satisfactory cheer without undercutting the epic tension. Director Howard Hawks certainly had a mountainous deal to do with the hastily pacing and the tightness of the ensemble, both of which issue that the film never seems to accelerate, even in calm moments. In short, a western for people who don’t like westerns and a John Wayne movie for people who don’t like John Wayne.
“Rio Bravo” is a very sharp and quality film pleasurable for the entire family.

The film boasts an all-star cast that boasts a wealth of talent. John Wayne is the tough sherrif John T. Chance, who has to absorb a prisoner charged with execute in his diminutive jail awaiting the arrival of the territory mediate. Wayne gives one of his best performances. Dean Martin plays Wayne’s terrorized drunk deputy. Martin surprises everyone by showing unbiased how unbelievable an actor he is. In a difficult role, Martin excels. Angie Dickenson is Wayne’s esteem interest. Dickenson’s role is also an emotionally fascinating bit of acting, but she pulls it off easily with room to spare. Walter Brennan is Wayne’s crippled deputy and he also excels and provides laughable relief. Brennan is so convincing as the crippled leg deputy that many fans of Brennan believed that he was actually crippled in proper life. Brennan walked as sterling as anyone and it is a tribute to him that he convinced all of us that he had a bum leg! Rounding out the cast is the very young heartthrob Ricky Nelson, who plays “Colorado”, a trailhand with a excellent gun. Nelson is in over his head here as an actor, but was probably included in the film for his ability to bring in the female audience. Ward Bond and Claude Akins round out the ample cast.
Director Howard Hawks uses the cast to his advantage. His directorship keeps the film titillating along at a sincere scamper. Interestingly, the first several minutes of the film has no dialogue at all! John Wayne speaks the first line about 4 minutes into the film after powerful action has already taken position.

This film represents Hawks’ and Wayne’s response to the movie “High Noon”, which both men despised. Wayne and Hawks were afraid by “High Noon” as no townspeople came to the wait on of the sherrif who had to face down a gang of thugs by himself. Both men believed that the superior men and women of the community would rally to the side of helpful and face down detestable. In ‘Rio Bravo”, Wayne’s sherrif does not go it alone, but gets back from several sources.
Dimitri Tiomkin’s accumulate is a great one, originally made for the classic western, “Red River”. Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson combine their vocal talents in the duet “My Rifle, My Pony, And Me”. Bear it or not, Walter Brennan adds his vocal talents in a song that follows!
“Rio Bravo” is a very satisfying and gripping film fit for the entire family. There is no profanity, savor scenes are done discretely, and the expected violence is not graphic or gratuitous. As a kid, this was one of my current “John Wayne” movies. As an adult, it continues to be a celebrated, and I occupy it will be a celebrated of yours too. Out of 10 stars, I’d give it a solid 9.
