“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

Miika's Movie Diary - 2017 (250 movies items)"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."
Nick's Top 100 Films (100 movies items)""The movie is simultaneously an apogee of the classic Western style, with its principled violence in defense of just law, and an eccentrically hyperbolic work of modernism, which yokes both bumptious erotic comedy and soul-searing rawness to the mission" - Richard Brody"
2017: Films I've Watched in January (26 movies items)"First Watched 1/6/2017 A great Western buddy film that any western fan should check out. Seriously the way the characters play off each other you really feel that sense of comradery between them. That is what I think really shines in the best Westerns not just the great gun play action, adventure, romance, scores, breath taking landscape and location shots, but the interpersonal relationships between all the players and how they depend, help, and live with each other.

50 Great Movies That Were Not Nominated For Any Os (50 movies items)"Poor Howard Hawks again. He never found much luck with his screwball comedies (see above), and even when he made as rollicking and entertaining a Western as “Rio Bravo,” the Academy just stared at him blankly and failed to nominate the film, now seen as a classic, for anything. Perhaps it was a political gesture. The film was made as a response to four-time Oscar winner “High Noon,” which star John Wayne saw as “un-American,” but support for HUAC and the black list was starting to co"
