When it comes down to naming the best Western of all time, the list usually narrows to three completely different pictures: John Ford's The Searchers, Howard Hawks's Red River, and Hawks's Rio Bravo. About the only thing they all have in common is that they all star John Wayne. But while The Searchers is an epic quest for revenge and Red River is a sweeping cattle-drive drama ("Take 'em to Missouri! Yeeee-hah!"), Rio Bravo is on a much more modest scale. Basically, it comes down to Sheriff John T. Chance (Wayne), his sobering-up alcoholic friend Dude (Dean Martin), the hotshot new kid Colorado (Ricky Nelson), and deputy-sidekick Stumpy (Walter Brennan), sittin' around in the town jail, drinkin' black cofee, shootin' the breeze, and occasionally, singin' a song. Hawks--who, like his pal Ernest Hemingway, lived by the code of "grace under pressure"--said he made Rio Bravo as a rebuke to High Noon, in which sheriff Gary Cooper begged for townspeople to help him. So, Hawks made Wayne's Sheriff Chance a consummate professional--he may be getting old and fat, but he knows how to do his job, and he doesn't want amateurs getting mixed up in his business; they could get hurt. This most entertaining of movies also achieved some notoriety in the '90s when Quentin Tarantino (director of Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Jackie Brown) revealed that he uses it as a litmus test for prospective girlfriends. Oh, and if the configuration of characters sounds familiar, it should: Hawks remade Rio Bravo two more times--as El Dorado in 1967, with Wayne, Robert Mitchum, and James Caan; and as Rio Lobo in 1970, with Wayne, Jack Elam, and Christopher Mitchum. --Jim Emerson

Rio Bravo.......2007-07-05

Another John Wayne Classic. Great Movie.

The Movie although old has been transfered
to the new digital format well. there are no problems.

Rio Bravo 2 disc collection........2007-06-27

I enjoyed it very much the second disc was the best some interesting doco,s i hadent seen before yes i rate this dvd highly.

One of the best..................2007-06-07

Recall seeing this first run when I was too cool to be a John Wayne fan. And this flick converted me, big time. Good story, interesting characters, great shoot out at the end, and John was never better, being John. And that's no put down. Not the critical or visual masterpiece that was the Searchers, but a more affiable outing for our hero. Action, humor and character development.

Not if you don't mind your own business.......2007-06-06

I love this movie. It's always been my favorite western, and while cinefiles may put "The Searchers" or "Red River" above it, I think no other western is more enjoyable and thrilling to watch than this one. As an examination of what the western really means, why it's such a durable art form, it is perfect. Right vs. wrong, good men vs. bad men, courage vs. cowardice, it's all in there.

Even though I've owned the old cardboard-box DVD for some time now, I bought this new edition the day it came out. (For one thing, I HATE those stupid boxes Warner Brothers put out and I'm glad to see they're correcting their mistake) The new edition contains an excellent 30-minute documentary on the making of the film, including a great interview with Angie Dickinson, who I believe is the only person involved with the movie still alive. I wish she was on the commentary, but she has plenty to say here. Another, shorter documentary talk about Old Tucson, where the movie was filmed and where westerns continue to be filmed even today. Finally, an excellent older hour-long documentary on Howard Hawks himself, with liberal sprinklings of scenes of his movies and a great long interview with Hawks from the early 1970's. It's all worth the price of buying the new edition.

There is also a commentary track with film historian Richard Schickel and director John Carpenter, who says this is his favorite film by his favorite director. The commentary is somewhat less successful, but still very interesting. It appears to be two separate commentaries spliced together; they refer to the movie, but not to each other. I'd rather they had included both commentaries separately, although it is true that by about midway through the movie they both kind of run out of steam and for long stretches you forget you've selected the commentary track at all.

Nevertheless the main thing is the movie, and it is a great one. John Wayne was never better, or at least never more powerful and charismatic, than he was here. Dean Martin calls him "Papa" at one point, and you see the truth of this: John Wayne is the patriarch of the movie, guiding it and helping it along, centering it with the force of his gravity. He's befuddled by the attentions of young Angie Dickinson, to be sure, but you never doubt that he's in charge of this town and he knows what he's doing. Dean Martin is a revelation as Dude, displaying all the raw acting talent he always seemed to hold back with Jerry Lewis because he knew he was the straight man. His torture as he goes through withdrawals from alcohol feel absolutely real, and we root for him as he slowly pulls himself up from the depths to which he's sunk the last few years. It's ironic that his next project was "The Young Lions" with Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift; there are three great actors who all, in their own way, seemed to forgo on the promise of their talent and coast or dissipate themselves into oblivion. At least we have this performance, because Dean was a great, great actor. Walter Brennan is perfect as always, adding spice and flavor to every scene where he appears or is likely to appear. A greater character actor there never was. Rick Nelson is good, if a bit stiff, but he holds his own here and is enjoyable in the role. He and Dean sing a couple of great songs, too, because if you have two of the biggest singers in the world you put 'em to work. Finally, Angie Dickinson is wonderful as Feathers, she's a smart alec (alice?) and she's vulnerable all at the same time, as good as Bacall in her best days, and the difference in age between her and John Wayne is never jarring, not even for a second. You want them to get together, and since this is an old-school western you figure they probably will.

Great movie, great dialogue, great acting, great direction, great color cinematic scope, great everything. Great movie. Check it out. They don't make 'em like this anymore. Too bad.

Excellent DVD movie...........2007-05-26

Rio Bravo is one of John Wayne's more enjoyable movies and this movie is considered to be one of the greatest westerns ever made. Wayne is superbly supported by Dean Martin who also carried the movie as well as Ricky Nelson, Walter Brennan and Angie Dickinson. Great cast, superb script and excellent direction make this movie a viewing a pleasure many times over. It has everything anyone want in a John Wayne movie. Gunfights, fist fights, slow developing story to developed all the main characters and even pacing with a song or two thrown in. So successful was this movie that it was remade two more times as El Dorado and Rio Lobo. Amazingly, all three movies were directed by Howard Hawks and starred John Wayne. Even more amazing is that all three movies proves to be just as good and entertaining as ever.

This two disc Special Edition of Rio Bravo is a definite upgrade in both quality of image as well as sound over the previous release. I found the running commentary by John Carpenter and Richard Schickel to be somewhat enjoyable but the extra features proves to be a disappointment. There are three special features on the second disc. Two of them, Howard Hawk's Rio Bravo and Old Tucson: Where Legends Walked proves to be quite interesting. However, I was pretty disappointed by the main feature of this second disc, Men Who Made Movies: Howard Hawks. This feature I have seen already on Bringing Up Baby two disc edition (superb Katherine Hepburn/Cary Grant movie). I was very unhappy that a documentary already used in one DVD movie was reused for another. Warner Brothers made a cheap move here. (However, if you do not owned Bringing Up Baby, then you will get more out of the second disc then I did.)

I gave five stars for the movie, three stars for the special features, averaging out to four stars for this review. It should be noted that this two disc edition is exactly identical to the "ultimate edition" although that edition cost more and have a reproduction of Dell comic book based on the movie and promo booklet attached to it. (Much like the Ultimate Edition of the Searchers.)

A real western.......2007-06-04

This is John Wayne. You can spot the formula and most of his supporting actors for other John Wayne movies. O.K. you can also see that it is a Howard Hawks' movie.

Dean Martin plays himself as Dude. And Ricky Nelson as Colorado Ryan really fits in this movie.

You know the story. Good guys are holding baddy in the jail. All his compadres want him out. It is up to the town characters to prevent this from happening. How this is done or not done is the movie.

The only thing this movie needed to be perfect is black and white hats.

Rio Bravo.......2007-06-26

Hawks's colorful, exciting western boasts an archetypal, larger-than-life turn from the Duke, and perhaps Martin's finest acting job ever as Dude. Film neatly blends pathos, suspense, comedy, even songs to create top-notch entertainment. Look also for Ricky Nelson as Colorado (he and Dino get to croon together), and the leggy, alluring Angie Dickinson as Feathers, a young woman with her eye on Chance. Bravo indeed.

Review of ACTUAL Release.......2007-06-23

I believe at this point in time I'm unique in that I seem to be the only reviewer who's going to attempt a comprehensive review of the Two-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition of Rio Bravo. Since I also own the original DVD release, I can compare the two prints (although to be honest, I loaned it to my Russian doctoral advisor a few years ago and he seems loath to part with it; however, the extras include unrestored scenes which can form the basis). We all KNOW that this is "the greatest Western that John Ford never made," otherwise, why would we be on this page? So rather than preach to the converted (which is basically a waste of time), this review will concentrate on the extras and the print itself.
To be honest, I prefer the older release for print quality. Given that this film was shot in Technicolor, I would assume that Warner would do the right thing and not tweak the original color values (I'm guessing that Rio Bravo wouldn't be a candidate for Warner/AOL's Edge Enhancement restoration because it was probably shot on one strip of film rather than three). But this print looks 'way too dark compared to the first release, with a rather significant loss of detail in the night and interior shots. To be honest, the detail is excellent in the brighter shots, but overall, I think the earlier release looks better and is immediately recognizable as Technicolor; this one almost looks like it's DeLuxe or Eastman. Okay...maybe it's not quite THAT bad, but I don't think it's an upgrade--everyone is orange, including the horses.
I don't know exactly what the stated audio restoration entailed, but it sounds great. There's an excellent commentary by Richard Schickel and John Carpenter (who are clearly having the time of their lives), an alternate French audio track, and subtitles in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and--of all things--Korean. There are also a number of trailers for Wayne's B westerns, culminating in one for Rio Bravo.
The extras on the second disk include three documentaries which are all deserving of the proverbial enthusiastic thumbs-up. The first is an installment of Schickel's series The Men Who Made the Movies which focuses on Howard Hawks; the second is titled Commemoration: Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo that features (among others) the ubiquitous Peter Bogdanovich (whom I find irritating almost beyond enduring) and Walter Hill and which, in spite of my aversion, I found enjoyable; everyone involved is a serious Rio Bravo fan and has something of interest to contribute. The final installment is called Old Tucson: Where the Legends Walked; this tells the story of what was to become the Old Tucson Studio and which is the location on which Rio Bravo was shot. This was all new to me and, like the other two documentaries, was lots of fun. For those interested, there are Portuguese and Korean subtitles.
We now come to the non-video extras. You may have read mention of "a comic book" that's included with this set. What ISN'T mentioned is that it's a miniature reprint of a 10¢ Dell comic book that was released for sale concurrent with the film's theatrical release (these weren't uncommon during that time period, now that I think of it). Also included is a miniature of what looks to be a promotional catalogue intended for theater owners, explaining how best to promote the film.
Finally, there's a nice set of miniature theater cards that somehow managed to get somewhat mangled in their sleeve. Since the trays that hold the disks were damaged when I received my set and are therefore being returned, I'm hoping for better things next time around. Everything is beautifully packaged as a series of folders within a heavy, vellum-textured slipcase.
I was lucky enough to purchase this with a coupon for about the same price as the list for the Two-Disc Special Edition, so I decided to go for it (I'm a sucker for gimmicks). I don't know if I'd advise purchasing it for list, as the extras, while nice, aren't essential. In fact, I don't even know that this new release is essential. If you already own the original release, there's really no reason to go for this one unless you want the documentaries and commentary. I knocked off a star because I'm really not crazy about the print, there's no hard-copy chapter index (a major pain in the posterior, in my book), the menus are cheesy, plus it's impossible to turn off the audio commentary unless the disk is ejected. Regardless of which release you purchase, Rio Bravo is not only a must-have for anyone who claims to be a Western fan, it belongs in the library of every serious film buff.

Hawks at his (near) best!.......2007-06-05

It doesn't match up to the brilliant perfection of Hawks', "Red River", but it does have a great deal of gentle humor that the other lacks. This was always my third favorite Western after "Red River" and Ford's, "The Searchers". It has a sense of menace and a wonderful story, but it's so breezy and (unintentionally?) light-hearted (you can tell that everyone is having a blast making this film!), it's hard to take it seriously! The best thing to do is just sing along with Dean and Ricky (I always do!), and enjoy the ride!
P.S. It's "Winchester 73'"!

The Duke was always stylish..........2007-06-04

As my birthday is creeping up and this film was released in 59 and I shall turn 59 in June (07) I felt like splurging for the Two Disc Ultimate Rio Bravo. Happy I did. I love westerns but didn't know this film that well, thought I had seen it but realized when I started to unspool it that I had never seen it all the way through. It's a terrific film, I have other westerns favorites that I feel are superior; The Searchers, Winchester 73 (I think that's the caliber), One Eyed Jack etc., but this is very good and the packaging is terrrific. You even get a re print of The Dell comic of the film (reduced in size of course) also there is the advertising circular that Warners sent out to theatre owners. As for the film, it's The Duke at his Dukest and Dean Martin is pretty good, Ricky Nelson could never act but looks good on screen...Angie Dickenson steals the picture...in black tights even. Happy with my purchase and you will be too.

Great,but where,s YELLOWSTONE KELLY/.......2007-05-09

Although The Searchers is my no 1,there is no doubt about the class of Rio Bravo.If the Documentaries are even half as good as The Searchers 50th Anniversary Special Edition then, very well done Warners.
Kelly J Colvin reports that there are more Special Editions on the way.
WHERE IS YELLOWSTONE KELLY,Widescreen please;;
Rio Bravo has been reviewed thousands of times,i think we all agree about its status as an All Time Classic.
WHERE IS YELLOWSTONE KELLY?;;Not even on VHS,never mind DVD,AN ABSOLUTE SCANDAL,C,mon Warners,what are you playing at? A whole generation loved this classic,SO PLEASE DO SOMETHING;;

Don't Toss Your Original!.......2007-06-24

Granted, it's light on extras and is packaged in a cheesy snapper case. But I own both this and the new, remastered release and I, for one (and I seem not to be alone) think that this print looks better. The colors manage to look both saturated and natural (it was, after all, shot in Technicolor), the print is anamorphic, the sound is fine, and there's a printed chapter index--what more do you want? The new print is a LOT darker, with everyone looking as though they'd hit the Coppertone QT with a heavy hand, i.e., they're all orange. The new sets have lots of cool extras, but if you like your people flesh-toned and your horses brown, stick with this one.

5 great stars in one great movie.......2007-04-02

I had not seen this movie in over thirty years, so I had forgotten just how good it was. To start with, you have John Wayne in the lead. Then you have Dean Martin in one of his few serious roles. Then comes Ricky Nelson, who could have been a great actor if he had been given a few more serious roles and not simply used as a cameo to bring in the teenage girls. Angie dickinson, doing her best as romantic interest for a man old enough to be her father. Then we come to Walter Brennan at his crotchety best. With a cast like this you just have to have a good movie, but add in a plot with more twists than a fifty foot lariat, then top it off with a great song sung by Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson. Pure entertainment. No deep philosophy, just lots of action and adventure. Treat yourself to a piece of the time when movies were made for fun.

Nelson and Martin lend added flavor.......2007-03-30

This John Wayne classic has the added flavor of great voices, which only enhances this terrific western. A very young Ricky Nelson and Dean Martin do a wonderful duet, one I hadn't heard before. Throw in Angie Dickinson as a femme fatale and you've got some well-matched actors having great fun with their characters. Wayne is a sheriff who is put to the test when he must arrest the brother of a rich rancher. Though the charge is murder, the rich rancher will stop at nothing to get his scoundrel of a brother out of jail. Wayne is left with a drunk, a greenhorn and a limping old man to help him fend off the bad guys.

OOPS!!.......2007-03-20

Full but painful disclosure compels me to own up to the fact that I had this all wrong. I had just bought a new DVD player, and I had been using a B&W movie for the hook-up. This was the only movie I had seen on the new player until popping in this version of Rio Bravo, which, as stated previously, had a sickly green tint to it. I discovered only after writing the first review that I of course had an incorrect hook-up. I fixed it and the movie plays great. My apologies to Duke and Stumpy.

Saw this movie during its first run as a nine-year-old and loved it. Still do. But the color reproduction on this DVD is scandalous, and bears absolutely no comparison to its original state. The rich, vibrant color of the original has been replaced by a Dr. Seussian green, making every character look as if they are suffering from sea sickness. This makes the movie unwatchable,despite its low cost.Thank God a new version is due out soon. Save your money for that one.

My Rifle , my pony , my dvd and me.......2007-03-09

This is an old favorite. True, the story itself is nothing new. Sheriff in trouble, out numbered and out gunned. He has only some misfits to back his play. Given that, what sets this apart from many other westerns is the cast and script. Take John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Walter Brennan and Angie Dickinson and you have the makings of an all star entertainment. While there is plenty of action, the story concentrates on these characters and how they handle the situation they are in. Look for plenty of back up characters like Claude Akins or Ward Bond. This is plain good movie making. Watch this show.

Very vicious, racial films! Politically incorrect films!.......2007-01-10

John Wayne, one of the most politically incorrect actors all time(probably the most politically incorrect), was teamed many times with a racist and very politically incorrect director "John Ford" and a very commercial and politically incorrect director "Howard Hawks".

John Ford described the native brutally,falsely and the white innocent in his technically famous films "The Searchers", "Stagecoach", and he twisted the story of the great novel "The grapes of wrath" by the view point of the ruler. Is he a good director? Yes, he is a technially good director, but he informed the audience of wrong history done by most whites. The native were killed in their land by the white, and the white took the native's property. So "The Searchers", "Stagecoach" can not be good any sense for the society even though those movies were technically great.

John Wayne was worse than John Ford(they were almost the same). In 1950's which-hunt, some Hollywood liberals made the film "High Noon" to attack the extreme right wing. After watching the film "High Noon", John Wayne and Howard Hawks decided to attack the Hollywood liberals, so they made the film "Rio Bravo". The result was a politically incorrect film(a very falsely informed and extremely right wing propaganda film).

Did we need a extremely right wing propaganda fim in 1950's?

Some people say a film should be decided by itself (technical standards only). I don't agree with that opinion because a film influence the audience. That's why only Jim Morrison(lead singer of "doors") liked Marlon Brando, the other UCLA class mates liked the racist, extremist John Wayne. I hope to watch technically good films with human conscience.
