" Notes: To be honest, I’m not really a fan of John Wayne, but since this movie is a real classic, I was definitely eager to check it out. In fact, I completely forgot it when I was watching the damned thing but I realized afterwards that this movie is actually regarded as one of the best Western ever made, inspiring such movies like ‘Assault at Precinct 13’ and many movie makers such as Quentin Tarantino. Personally, I thought it was a pretty good flick but I can’t say it was really mi"

"When 'High Noon' was released in 1952, actor John Wayne and director Howard Hawks dismissed it as a terrible Western. Wayne thought it "un-American" while Hawks had problems with the story's focus on a lawman actively seeking help from everyone in town and that it concluded with his "Quaker wife" playing a big role in saving his life. While right-wing politics, blinkered sexism and a luddite dedication to formal tradition seem to play clear roles in Wayne and Hawks' objections, as veterans of th"

"2017/10/01 @Goodrich Kalamazoo 10 - theater 8, row 2 w/ Dave S. Via MoviePass, part of Flashback Cinema series A classic western from 1959 about a murderer being held in a small town until the marshal could come collect him and the gang that wants to free him.

“A classic western from 1959 about a murderer being held in a small town until the marshal could come collect him and the gang that wants to free him.

It is clearly a movie from a different era, where even a western needed to have a musical number shoved into it. Regardless, it was enjoyable, if somewhat long.

The characters were clever and the interactions between them were engaging and interesting. It had sufficient action via shoot-em-ups as well as comedy that didn't feel forced. The love interest felt a bit tacked on, but not terribly so.

I also enjoyed that the protagonists weren't untouchable; they made mistakes and sometimes the bad guys got the jump on them or outsmarted them.

Why it was called Rio Bravo, "Brave River," is beyond me. Maybe i” read more

"7.7, DVD John Wayne ja kumppanit heittävät keskenään hyvää läpyskää ja meininki on muutenkin sopivan veijarimaista. Sankarin pakollinen naiskuvio on aika turha ja kestoa pitkittävä, mutta koska Waynen ja Dickinsonin välillä on selvää kemiaa, ei se lopputulosta huononna."
