Customer Reviews of Rio Bravo [Region 2]
Rio Dorado, or I mean Bravo! This is classic John Wayne and Howard Hawks. If you love John Wayne movies you'll love this one. Now personally I enjoyed El Dorado better than this one and sure they are basically the same movie, but they are different enough that you can watch them both and enjoy them for different reasons. <

>In Rio Bravo, unlike El dorado, Wayne is the sheriff and he is definitely the law. This is a powerful man that knows his job. Dean Martin is his drunken deputy, Dude, who fell apart over a woman we never meet. Part of the fun and drama of this movie is Martin becoming the man he used to be while he and Wayne keep guard over the murderous Joe Burdette played by a smug Claude Akins, while dodging bullets and threats from Nathan Burdette (Joe's wiser brother) played by John Russell. <

>Along for laughs (and there's plenty) are Walter Brennan playing the old crippled jail hand Stumpy and Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez as the hotel owner. Of course there's the love interest for Wayne as well, and although done ok, it really isn't the reason to keep watching this movie over and over again. <

>Rio Bravo isn't Wayne's best movie, but it is one of my favorites and one I can continue to watch year after year.
Don't Toss Your Original!
Granted, it's light on extras and is packaged in a cheesy snapper case. But I own both this and the new, remastered release and I, for one (and I seem not to be alone) think that this print looks better. The colors manage to look both saturated and natural (it was, after all, shot in Technicolor), the print is anamorphic, the sound is fine, and there's a printed chapter index--what more do you want? The new print is a LOT darker, with everyone looking as though they'd hit the Coppertone QT with a heavy hand, i.e., they're all orange. The new sets have lots of cool extras, but if you like your people flesh-toned and your horses brown, stick with this one.
5 great stars in one great movie
I had not seen this movie in over thirty years, so I had forgotten just how good it was. To start with, you have John Wayne in the lead. Then you have Dean Martin in one of his few serious roles. Then comes Ricky Nelson, who could have been a great actor if he had been given a few more serious roles and not simply used as a cameo to bring in the teenage girls. Angie dickinson, doing her best as romantic interest for a man old enough to be her father. Then we come to Walter Brennan at his crotchety best. With a cast like this you just have to have a good movie, but add in a plot with more twists than a fifty foot lariat, then top it off with a great song sung by Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson. Pure entertainment. No deep philosophy, just lots of action and adventure. Treat yourself to a piece of the time when movies were made for fun.
