Tell you the truth, im not a big Howard Hawks fan either but, he did make some very good movies. I think his last movie he made before retiring was Rio Lobo--I think???
As for Angie Dickenson. I too used to feel that she was out of place in Rio bravo but, the more I see it, the more I see Hawks appeal for having her as eye candy for the movie. In her younger days, Angie Dickenson was a hottie. I used to not be a fan of Barbara Stanwyck either but, I saw her in Ball of Fire w/ Gary Cooper, Dana Andrews and Dan Duryea-and she was beautiful. I had also seen her in Titanic (1953) w/ Clifton Webb, Richard Basehart and Robert Wagner-and she was still a very pretty Woman.
By the way, the actor who played Carlos in Rio Bravo (Pedro Gonzales-Gonzales, was a hoot in it.
Chance: "Carlos, what happened to your eye?"
Carlos: "The lady...she hit the eye."
