RIO BRAVO
With the younger brother of a feared outlaw locked up in his jail, sheriff John T. Chance (John Wayne) hunkers down for the older brother’s attack. His deputies include town drunk Dude (Dean Martin), hot-headed teenager Colorado (Ricky Nelson) and cantankerous coot Stumpy (Walter Brennan). Howard Hawks’ high-spirited masterpiece has it all: comedy, drama, action and even a musical number, plus career-best performances from Martin, Nelson and Brennan, and an eye-catching turn from Angie Dickinson as gambling lady “Feathers.” DIR/PROD Howard Hawks; SCR Jules Furthman, Leigh Brackett, from the short story by B. H. McCampbell. U.S., 1959, color, 141 min. NOT RATED
