Posts from Hondo Duke Lane in thread „Rio Bravo (1959)“

    Todd,

    I don't have Blu-ray, but know where there is a copy of Rio Bravo. It happens to be at a video store in town (my home).

    Say the word and I'll get it for you. Other wise you might want to get it from DeepDiscount.com.

    This movie is my favorite Duke western. I never saw this movie until I received it in the mail from Time Live Video Collection of John Wayne in 1990. I was so excited when I open the box and saw Rio Bravo as my first Duke movie. This was so exciting to see Duke and this great cast taking place in the old west.

    It doesn't surprise me that it is Amercia's favorite western. I can relate to Duke characters, and the no nonsense that he playes in this movie. I must say that I may be watching this movie very soon on my DVD copy. I do still have the VHS prerecorded that I received back in 1990 (almost 20 years ago). I should rid myself of these movies, but it is my first collection of John Wayne. Not easy to say good-bye.

    Everyone who is a true Duke fan must see this movie, and should be one of their favorites.

    John Wayne is his best in this movie. If I had to cast the others, I'd stay with Dean Martin, and Walter Brennan. They were great in their parts. I'd like to see Paul Newman play the part of Colorado. This is different, but I can see him play that part well minus the singing, but that can be skipped. The lady would be Elizabeth Taylor. Now that would be a spitfire. The other parts are alright, but the main ones is what I see in this movie.

    This is an excellent article about Howard Hawks. I know it's about Rio Bravo and John Wayne but did concern more about Hawks. Excellent article! I really enjoyed it. Hope others read it as well.
