Rio Bravo (1959) starring John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson, Walter Brennan, Ward Bond. Directed by Howard Hawks. Sheriff Chance (Wayne) has a dangerous man in his jail, and only drunkard Martin, gimpy Brennan and (extremely) young Nelson to help him prevent the Burdette gang from busting him out. Although there's a lot to make fun of in this Western, especially some of the dialogue, it's still a lot of fun to watch. In fact, it's one of my favorite Westerns. Main flaw is overlength, at nearly two and a half hours. Subtitles are offered in several languages, including English, as well as closed captions for the hearing-impaired. Grade: A-
