Pros: Direction, Wayne, Martin, Brennan, Dickinson Cons: A little long but entertaining.
"Sorry don't get it done, Dude." Sheriff John T. Chance
This entertaining film came to mind after viewing Bad Day at Black Rock and reflecting on High Noon, two films Hollywood advanced to gain sympathy for itself in the...
Pros: entertaining, John Wayne in good form Cons: conventional characters and situations
"Red River" (1948) is probably the best western ever made. Howard Hawks was the director, John Wayne was the star, and Walter Brennan was an important supporting actor. The three reunited more than ten years later for another western, which...

Pros: A great Wayne western Cons: There aren't any unless you don't like westerns.
Rio Bravo was one of John Wayne's best movies. This movie has it all for the western lover. The casting alone should win an Oscar, if we could go back that far. What is not to love with people like, Ward Bond, Dean Martin, Walter Brennan, Ricky...
