John Wayne was a special type of western hero. Director Howard Hawks proves it with the movie "Rio Bravo". In this 1959 classic western, he plays Sheriff John T. Chance. The cast is full of great character actor performances by Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson, Ward Bond, Claude Akin, and my all time favorite Walter Brennan. They all work together to keep a murderous member of a gang in jail. His family will stop at nothing to get him out. The odds are against you John Wayne. You might as well give up now. Not our John Wayne. He stands tall and ready for all who want to cross his path. Justice will be carried out. I admire John Wayne as an actor and for the type of movies he would choose to star in. He also could pick the best directors. John Ford and Howard Hawks are a good team to play for. P.S. KCLS has 3 copies of "Rio Bravo" and none are checked out at this moment. It is a good time to see a classic John Wayne western! Please let me know your reaction right here on the KCLS web site.
