John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson (why? why?), Angie Dickinson...

Amazing, what you find in IMDB!

Quote:

Feathers: I thought you were never going to say it.
John T. Chance: Say what?
Feathers: That you love me.
John T. Chance: I said I'd arrest you.
Feathers: It means the same thing, you know that.

Aaaaarrrrghhh !!!

Quote:

Feathers: In case you make up your mind, I left my door open. Get a good night's sleep.
John T. Chance: You're not helping me any.

Hmm, reminds me of someone

Quote:

The sets in Old Tucson are built to 7/8th scale, so the performers look larger than life.

Wow!!!

Quote:

John Wayne was nervous about the love scenes between his character and Feathers, since he was 51 and Angie Dickinson was only 26.

Holy shit, so what? I'm 51 too and... oops! wrong forum!

Any way, there was also another Howard Hawks film "Eldorado" (1966) filmed 7 years later, which is a carbon copy of RB, but with Robert Mitchum and James Caan instead, thankfully.

There was a third H.H. film on the same theme, "Rio Lobo" (1970), again with the Duke starring, but quite frankly I can't remember anything of it!

Thank you Mark ;-)) I greatly appreciate that. ;-)) Rio bravo is one of my favorites and everytime I see it, I like it more and more. Just gotta love Walter Brennan as Stumpy.

Stumpy: "I brought ye some Dynamite."

Chance: "Good Idea. See if you can get one in their laps."

Stumpy: Throws the wad of dynamite and Chance shoots it making it explode.

Stumpy starts cackling and Chance says: "Oh stop Cacklin. Throw one a little further."

Stumpy: "There you go again, what would you do if i wasn't here?"

Chance: "I'd throw it myself. Ready?"

Stumpy throws another and Chance shoots it making it explode.

Stumpy: How'd you like that?"

Chance: "Fine, now throw one a little bit closer."

Stumpy: "Never can satisfy ya."

ChanceL :THROW IT!!"

I love the ending fight scenes.

Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson, because they were both great singers. Just listen to them singing in the Jailhouse singing: "My Rifle, My Pony and Me, and, Cindy, Cindy." Walter Brennan also played the Harmonica-and was a pro at playing it just as Gary Cooper was.]]]]

stumpy just burnt hell out of his fingers with a burning mach
that cracked me up..

Hi Mark, Stumpy was great in all of his scenes. It's because of Walter Brennan, that I like Rio Bravo as much as I do. Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson helped some ;-))

If you like Walter Brennan as much as I do, you should watch these movies: The Westerner (or either the Plainesman also w/ Gary Cooper) w/ Gary Cooper, I forget which one exactly it is but, whichever one it was that had Walter Brennan as Judge Roy Bean-anyway, he was hilarious in that one--especially the scene where he and Cooper wake up from drinking all of that Whiskey.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, I like him a lot. You're not seeing me criticising his work. Whom I don't like is Howard Hawks

Angie Dickinson and Ricky Nelson?

As a matter of fact one of my nicknames Elsewhere is "The Quiet Man", and one of my mail accounts is "TrooperThornton". See?

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."

Hey, when I go see a Western I want to see horses, rocks, gunfights, barfights (yeah!), fistfights, knifefights, one shot = three Injuns falling, etc, etc! If I want to see people singing I'll watch The Sound of Music, for pete's sake!

Then why are RB and ED so similar in plot? The main characters - Big Guy (so to speak), the sheriff (Martin/Mitchum), the sidekick (Nelson/Caan), etc?

Just my two penn'orth but I rate 'Rio Bravo' as a classic of its kind. It's from before the era of the 'realistic' Western - the bad guys lose, the good guys win and I find it very entertaining indeed......

I love that movie, but I like most of JW's movies! Angie Dickinson is in this movie, as Carl said, as "eye candy"! Wow, what great legs!! I'm also a big fan of Deano! Although I prefer his singing to acting!

krieg · #16 (**permalink**) April 19th, 2008, 11:33 PM

The Duke is good at both western and war films, for instance D-Day. Rio Grande is "the" classic must see though.

Speaking of the pistol (that Patrick Wayne//James McCandles) wore is called a: Bergmann 1911. Not sure if Bergmann is spelled w/ one or two "n."
