You want that gun, pick it up. I wish you would.
More for the 100th John Wayne Anniversary.
If you are looking for top action, you can't go wrong here. Howard Hawks directs John Wayne and Dean Martin in one of the most enjoyably westerns ever made.
Quenton Tarantino reported has said, "When I am getting serious about a girls, I show her Rio Bravo. And she better f*cking like it."
Wayne projected a balance of swagger and shrewdness, compassion and professionalism as he portrayed a "Real American," some say as a sop to Congress and The House Un-American Activities Committee.
As support for the he-man Wayne, Hawks used Dean Martin, Walter Brennan, and Angie Dickinson. He also cast pre-Roscoe P. Coltane Claude Akins as the villain. He also threw Ozzie and Harriett's son Ricky, into the mix presumably to generate teen interest.
Looking for real manly-man cowboys, you'll find it here.
