Plot: The sheriff of a small town in southwest Texas must keep custody of a murderer whose brother, a powerful rancher, is trying to help him escape. After a friend is killed trying to muster support for him, he and his deputies – a disgraced drunk and a cantankerous old cripple – must find a way to hold out against the rancher’s hired guns until the marshal arrives. In the meantime, matters are complicated by the presence of a young gunslinger – and a mysterious beauty who just came in on the last stagecoach.

Great characters, great performances, great stuff
Boasting one of the best casts you’re likely to find in a Western, “Rio Bravo” delivers the goods in terms of slam-bang action and entertainment but also provides an impressive depth of characterization and some genuinely poignant moments.John Wayne is at his best as the supremely Dukean Sheriff John Chance. Dean Martin gives the performance of a lifetime as Dude, an alcoholic whose struggle against his own demons forms the heart of the film. Angie Dickinson is radiant and razor-sharp as Feathers, a cunning but warmhearted lady drifter (Wayne & Dickinson’s scenes are absolutely priceless). Ricky Nelson is instantly likable as the fresh-faced but streetwise Colorado (I LOVE that name!). And, of course, Walter Brennan steals the show in a film made up of show-stealing performances as the infinitely cantankerous and chatty Stumpy.
There’s lots of great action and comedy here, but the part that had the deepest impact on me was the singing scene. For some reason, it just really hit home for me–Martin and Nelson’s soulful crooning, Stumpy’s harmonica, and the Duke hanging back with a small, genuine smile on his face; all of them realizing that they may not live out the night, but thinking to themselves that life will have been worth it nonetheless. It was that rare gem of a cinematic scene that feels completely real–where the emotions of the characters and the audience become one. After watching it, you feel as if you were actually in that cramped, stuffy little jailhouse, whiling away the hours with these unlikely friends. It was during this scene that I really felt what director Howard Hawks was getting at.
“Rio Bravo” is a thoroughly enjoyable and at times touching watch–even for someone (like me) who’s not the biggest fan of the Duke, the Rat Pack, or teen idol actors (Nelson).
