A Western Classic!
Reviewed by JustGus for Red River at 2010-12-02 16:55:36
Howard Hawks directs John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, Walter Brennan, John Ireland, Noah Beery, Jr. and Joanne Dru in this classic western about the first cattle drive from Texas to Kansas. A western mutiny on the bounty and one not to be missed. The cinematography is beautiful and Ford commented on Wayne's perfomance that he always knew the big lug could act, he was just never able to get the kind of perfomance out of him that Hawks did!

A masterpiece.
Reviewed by NWRdr4 for Rio Bravo at 2010-02-06 21:05:58
Rio Bravo is a western that's rich in characterization and great dialogue; it also doesn't lack its share of awesome shootouts. John Wayne and Dean Martin give Oscar-worthy performances. Angie Dickinson, Ricky Nelson, and Walter Brennan aren't too bad themselves. A fine film worth watching over and over again.

Bogart and Bacall Sizzle
Reviewed by libraryhag for The Big Sleep at 2009-07-29 16:35:12
This classic is one of my favorites. If you buy the DVD you will get the original version which is very different from the final release. The final cut is much better but the first version explains a lot of stuff that is left in HUH??? mode in the release version. The movie has everything, the rich socialites, the sordid affairs, the sultry dames and Bogart as the cynical but honorable detective. You must see this.

Classic Wayne
Reviewed by LongLivetheD for Rio Bravo at 2008-03-26 10:48:38
This is one of those movies i have to watch when I come across it on cable. Wayne and Martin have great chemistry, and Brennan adds just the right amount of humor. Wayne is basically playing Wayne by this time, but he's so #!@%*# good at it, you just have to go along.

A Pairing of Greats!
Reviewed by KHL for Twentieth Century at 2008-03-19 17:24:28
Barrymore's best role in the talkies (before the declining years) as outrageous, ultra-theatrical manager Oscar Jaffe, and Carole Lombard as plain jane turned diva tempestuous star Lily Garland create fireworks together and Howard Hawks' usually snappy dialog abounds. Delightful, funny and fresh screwball comedy, still holds up after all this time and proves why both actors were considered among the greatest of their generation.
