Dude, the drunk, is played by Dean Martin. Colorado, the young gunfighter, is played by Ricky Nelson. Both were incredibly popular singers of the time. Hearing them singing together is one of the best highlights of this movie.
Thanks for the explanation i don't care for explaining stuff.
Don't forget Walter Brennen, he actually had hit of his own "Old Shep"
there another movie made in similar vein John Wayne and Robert Mitchum called Rio Diablo you should check it out
Making an alcoholic dig money out of a nasty spittoon for a drink was meant to be degrading.
She probably doesn't know what a spittoon is, or what nasty stuff is in it.
@@larryyeadeke2953 OMG, give the girl some credit. I think she has the smarts to figure it out, especially since we are talking about a container on the floor in a saloon.
@@larryyeadeke2953 How dumb do you think she is mate? lol
@@larryyeadeke2953 You're kidding, right mate?
People chewed tobacco back then. And constantly spat the sauce into them spitoons. Might as well have thrown that silver dollar into a urinal.
14:05 You're right that Angie Dickinson looked too old to be 22. She was 28 in real life. She's still alive today at 92.
Women tend to look older when their hair is up and pulled off of their face.
And she used to hang out with the famous rat pack.
She could pass for 22 in the 19th century. I've seen graduation photos where people looked middle-aged.
Actually, she was 26. The movie was filmed in May-July, 1958.
I remember reading somewhere that she had a crush on John Wayne ever since she saw him in Stagecoach. When she was eight.
@@thomast8539 I strongly disagree. I think they look younger with their hair up, and older with their hair down.
Walter Brennan who played Stumpy was in more than 200 films and won 3 Academy Awards.
One of the 1930’s through the 70s greatest supporting actors. Almost always the sidekick or co-star, but one of the best.
I had heard when Walter Brennan would be cast for a movie role he would ask the Director:
"Teeth or no teeth?"
to determine if he was to wear his dentures for the part or not.
Too funny.
Great reaction to a great movie.
Cheers!!!!
And he was never Young
@rhudoc3745 remember when he was playing poker with the Indian in Red River and he bet and lost his teeth? One of the funniest parts in one of the best westerns in cinematic history.
Although he won those Oscars because in those days Hollywood extras were allowed to vote for the winners and Walter Brennan was very popular with the extras union. When they stopped the extras from voting, Walter Brennan stopped winning!
"She's like the prettiest girl I've ever seen my whole life". Amen to that, Dawn.
I second that! She was amazingly beautiful in this movie
Personally I'd go with Grace Kelly in Rear Windo / To Catch a Thief ... but personal preferences always exist.
@@Muck006 I would gladly go out with the loser in that debate.
They throw a coin in the spittoon, that's where people spit out when they are chewing tobacco. It's to humiliate him when he was drunk because he was so desperate for money he would reach into the spit to get booze money.
Duke or no Duke, Ward Bond elevates every film he's in.
I don't know about you, but to me, Bond's best role was as the priest in The Quiet Man.
@@johnrust592 his best role was the sheriff in 3 Godfathers.
He didn’t have enough scenes in Quiet Man.
Which character was Ward Bond?
@@Gutslinger He was briefly at the beginning of the movie. He was John Wayne’s old friend who was leading a wagon train through town and warned him about the gunslingers. He and John Wayne were old friends offscreen as well as on so their scenes together always have a certain warmth to them. But even in his movies without Wayne Ward Bond always brings a sense of comfort, like walking into your grandpa’s house and getting that smell of pipe tobacco.
Rio Bravo was the town. Another similar movie is Rio Lobo, along with El Dorado. The Sons of Katie Elder also stars the Duke and Dean Martin
A town named for a river. 😁
Even though all those films had basically the same story, they are all great and very much worth seeing.
"Rio Bravo" is also the Mexican name for the Rio Grande (river that is the border between Mexico and US state of Texas)
Similar? They're the same movie.
@@Shadowman4710 Not the same, merely a very similar plot. Everything else was slightly different too, therefore the movies are very similar, but not the same. For instance, Ricky Nelson's character was cool and he sang, whereas James Caan's character was a buffoon used for comic relief. His character was built on the old joke about never bringing a knife to a gunfight. I've developed a dislike for James Caan over the years, so I prefer this movie. Also, I can't see Robert Mitchum singing "My Rifle, My Pony, and Me." Now there is a funny thought for you. GRIN
10 yrs later john wayne remade this movie w different actors and called it Eldorado. Its also awesome
He made the exact same film with Robert Mitchum 😆(El Dorado)
Almost the exact same.
And Rio Lobo!
@@phredphlintstone6455 much quicker pace and James Caan!
I love that movie too, especially when Wayne and Caan go to see the Swede.
Almost exact. It's also very good!
Ricky Nelson was only 19 while recording this movie but already a television (and radio) star and a recording artist. BTW, his was the first song to be a number one on Billboard's Hot 100 list
that cute lady is 92 years old now...
Still going strong.
I used to watch her TV show "Police Woman" back in the day.
Nah, Dawn's nowhere near that.
@@GWNorth-db8vn Dead man walking if Dawn notices! lol
@@kevindunn5650I was 10 when I first saw Police Woman, totally besotted by Angie growing up
The gentleman shot in the opening scene was Bing Russell, father of Kurt Russell.
Finally, a new film fact. Good one.
I was going to say that but I wasn't sure she new who Kurt Russell was.
No way I have been watching that movie my whole life and didn’t know that. Nice one
Stumpy was played by the great Walter Brennan who had a very long career, starting in the 20s and continuing until his passing in 1974. He won three Oscars for Best Supporting Actor, for _Come and Get It_ (1936), _Kentucky_ (1938), and _The Westerner_ (1940).
Two of his most memorable roles are in _Meet John Doe_ (1941, dir. Howard Hawks, with Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck), and _To Have and Have Not_ (1944, dir. Frank Capra, with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall).
Howard Hawks directed To Have Or Have Not.,Red River and Rio Bravo with Walter Brennan. A great dog movie with Walter and the little boy from Shane is Good Bye My Lady.
Frank Capra directed Meet John Doe.
@@paulpeacock1181Don’t forget Hawks and Brennan teamed for the great Sergeant York.
Brennan was also excellent, in a very different role, in My Darling Clementine.
"Dagnabbit Luke," people forget he had own TV comedy series The Real MCcoys from 1957 to 1963.
Really Wonderful movie. Thank you for reacting to these old movies when many would not. Your reaction videos are great.
BEST MOVIE REVIEW EVER!!!!!
I'm so happy you enjoyed this movie. It's one of my favorites, one of those I stop and watch whenever I see it on.
I don't understand why more YT reactors haven't watched it.
One of the best westerns ever. So loved the combination of humor, strong characters, real friends, a sweet love interests, them singing in the jail house and an alcoholic's journey to recovery. Few films have ever been able to create such a unique mix. Loved your reaction to this.
My dad and I watch Rio Bravo and Big Jake every year at Christmas.
The "kid" is Ricky Nelson, a teen heartthrob and singer from the 50's. I think he was in a tv series with his whole family
First on radio and then on television -- The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriett.
@@anthonyleecollins9319 Thanks, I couldn't remember the name of the show
Sadly he was killed in a plane crash. Quite young too.
Yep, and Ricky hated every moment of it, but his father made him and his brother put on the brave face for millions of TV fans. His dad even prevented him from going to college because the show was more important to the old man. Yet another story of an emotional control freak of a dad, similar to the destructive jerks for fathers that Brian Wilson and Wil Wheaton had.
His sons, Matthew and Gunnar, for the 80s rock group Nelson.
I went to camp when I was a lad. Every afternoon it rained We saw this movie. This will be My first watch in nearly 50 years,
Every boy should watch John Wayne movies with his dad, but this is my favorite.
It must've been trippy experience to finally watch it again after that many years.
Comedy western - Support your local Sheriff
And Support Your Local Gunfighter.
Don't forget They Call Me Trinity and My Name is Nobody. Terrence Hill fun is a must.
Very under rated movie!
Yes. Support Your Local Sheriff. The sequel is good but not as good as the first.
Great movie.
I love to watch young folk reacting to my favorite songs and movies; I am so glad I found this one! Best reaction ever!
I absolutely love your voice, Dawn! Thank you for giving an old man a smile!✌️❤️
"To Have and Have Not" is a must see film to anyone who likes Walter Brennan. Now it is already 50 years since he passed away, but he still holds the record for most Oscars won by a supporting actor.
The best westerns always stand the test of time which is why they are repeated so often and are always welcomed with great enthusiasm.
Hi Dawn. The guy who played Dude was Dean Martin. He was a part of the Las Vegas "Rat Pack" along with Frank Sinatra and all those guys. He was a recording star as well as an actor. Colorado was played by Ricky Nelson who grew up on TV on a show with his real family called The Ozzie and Harriet Show. He was a singer and a huge teen heartthrob. Oh and Ward Bond, the guy who played Wheeler also played the priest in The Quiet Man, and did many movie and TV roles, including being the wagon master on a popular old TV western called Wagon Train. He was in a number of John Waynes movies. Since you liked this movie I think you might like The Duke in El Dorado too. Very similiar story. Different cast and for a more serious western you might try Open Range with Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner. Very good movie. Enjoy!!
Ward Bond was one of the most popular character actors in Hollywood. He and John Wayne had been best friends since they both played (American) football at the University of Southern California in 1927. When this movie was made, that would have been over 30 years.
Aw Rio Bravo! Magic! 🍿
With Michelle Carey as Joey!!
@@markwilliams6394Wrong movie. She was in El Dorado.
@@TheBTG88 you're right, I remembered that after I sent the comment.
I think this is the movie that inspired John Carpenter to make Assault on Precinct 13 - now THERE'S a movie worth a reaction!
Rumor has it that the budget for the entire movie was $50,000.
Carpenter was a genius who could make a little money go a long, long way.
Agreed. John Carpenter could manage the global economy a whole lot better than today's clowns...@@thewildgoose7467
Loved that movie
I love how invested you are in the characters of these old films. You may have action, romance, and comedy, but without interesting characters for you to care about and love or even hate, it doesn't elevate a movie to the next level. Which is what makes these older films stand out, you just have to let take you on a journey.
Angie Dickerson. One of the all-time beauties. if you saw her today and didn't know who she was, you would look at her and say, this lady must have been beautiful when she was young
She had a very popular t.v. series called Police Woman.(late seventies early eighties)
@@paulpeacock1181 She was in her mid 40s and still incredibly beautiful and sexy.
She grew up in Kulm, North Dakota about 40 miles away from where I grew up....and they say we're a flyover state😂. If they knew Dickinson was there the planes would have halted.
Dickinson bares it all in Big Bad Mama in 1974, and she's smokin' hot.
One of my favorite westerns! You can't go wrong with John Wayne, Dean Martin, and Rickie Nelson. I find it satisfying that you enjoy the humor in this movie so much. I was beginning to think I was the only one
fun fact: a (minor) point in Good Morning Vietnam (set in 1965) is the bar owner trying to get naked photographs of Walter Brennan - the actor that plays Stumpy in Rio Bravo (filmed in 1958).
Young Scot, you are a delight to watch. You make my old heart happy.
"Unloosen that belt!" Gotta love that elocutional precision.
"With my three good companions
Just my rifle, pony and me" 😉
One of my favourite movies, John Wayne, Director Howard Hawks, and screenplay by Leigh Brackett. The trio was also responsible for 'Rio Lobo,' and my favourite John Wayne movie, 'Hatari.'
Leigh Bracket also wrote the first draft of 'The Empire Strikes Back.'
Since you like Walter Brennan (Stumpy) and black and white movies you might be interested in the Academy Award winner for 1941. It is the Gary Cooper movie, SERGEANT YORK, a biopic on the mst decorated allied soldier from WWI. And like Desmond Doss, he was also a conscientious objector. Good movie, a little dated and not nearly as gory or intense as HACKSAW RIDGE, but it still holds up quite well. You'll like it.
“Stumpy” (Walter Brennan) was a two time Academy Award winner. You would like him in The Westerner with Gary Cooper and the Far Country with Jimmy Stewart besides a bunch of other sidekick and supporting actor roles. And later in Support Your Local Sheriff.
@@bennychristensen4314 Yeah, THE WESTERNER would be a great pick for Walter Brennan too. I'll second that one. But SERGEANT YORK, first.
Sadly in real life Brenna was considered on of the most hateful men in Hollywood for his racist and radical anti communist views.
@@bennychristensen4314
Tom Danby pulls a broken set of dentures out of his shirt pocket: "Look Pa! Your teeth saved my life!"
Pa Danby: "Damnit! Those were my eatin' teeth!"
Big thumbs up to Sargent York (and maybe sometime in the future - Pride of the Yankees)
One of my favorite westerns!
Rio Bravo was the name of the town.
Claude Akins is one of my favorite character actors. May he 4ever RIP.
"This is 2024 and this movie was made in 1959... That's almost - Holy Crap - a hundred years!" I was born in 1959 - it just feels like a hundred years...
YES!
This is a movie every boy should watch with his father, but I shared it with my new girlfriend, Cindy, having completely forgotten about the song after My Rifle, My Pony and Me.
She ditched me a couple of months ago but I will always love this movie --- "There you go again! What would you do if I wasn't here to throw 'em fer ya?"
"I'd throw 'em myself."
I know it can be tough, but you'll meet someone else eventually and move on, a little smarter and a little wiser.
@@THOMMGB To hell with her, I miss Derby.
That little orange furball was my cat therapy.
The Searchers is a must watch
It doesn't depict Native people very well.
The Big Country, The Cowboys, Once Upon A Time In The West and True Grit are better westerns, but so many think Ford was the king.
Searchers overrated 😁
Pretty sure she already reacted to The Searchers.
@@dan_hitchman007 it depicts natives as both peaceful and violent, ya know, like real life.
I have to say that this was the very best reaction I have ever seen you do. Your delight with "Stumpy" had me laughing. Everything you did seemed like an honest reaction to the film. I've seen lots of others "react" with what they think the audience wanted, so your heartfelt actual reaction was enchanting.
This is by far my favorite John Wayne western. Yes, I know most people would say The Searchers is his best and he won an Oscar for True Grit (and should have won it for The Shootist) but for me this is the best of his westerns. Great buddy movie. Not just two buddies but five or more (Chance, Dude, Stumpy, Colorado, Feathers and even Carlos). Wonderful cast. Very fun to watch and one that can be enjoyed again and again. Dawn is right, Stumpy was the best, made the movie so funny and enjoyable.
One of my all time favorite movies from my favorite actor.
Thank you so much!
Orson Welles said: "If John Ford is a poet, then Howard Hawks is prose." Rio Bravo is one of my top 3 favorite Westerns. I watch it at least once a year. Hawks is really is the opposite side of the coin to Ford, as a director. They both approach the same themes in their Westerns, worked with many of the same stars, but with totally different stylistic approaches. His Westerns were not as acclaimed as Ford's, but these days I notice younger audiences gravitate toward him more.
My favorite movie. One hour, 45 minutes Dean and Ricky sing My Rifle, My Pony, and Me. The outfit Ricky is wearing was worn by Elvis in his first movie.
Walter Brennan, the actor who plays Stumpy, starred in the television show _'The Real McCoys'_ (1957-1963) and one of the local television stations aired reruns during my childhood.
Only later, through great movies like this one, did I become aware that he had a long career in film.
Rio Bravo (1959) is one of my most favourite movies of all time. And the last thing you would be thinking, these blokes singing in a Western like this.
I recommend the John Wayne/John Ford western/cavalry trilogy She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), Rio Grande (1950) and Fort Apache (1948)
I've seen this movie probably a couple of dozen times over many years, and I NEVER noticed the name of the saloon is Rio Bravo! Well, BRAVO to you! I truly enjoy watching you react to these movies, so I hope you keep doing them -- thank you! (And btw, Stumpy is played by the great character actor Walter Brennan, who was actually born in New England and naturally spoke with a rather patrician accent.)
OH YEAH! This is the BEST MOVIE EVER!!!! John Fords answer to "High Noon"! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I know you enjoyed this one! When I was twenty I had a five foot poster of John T. on the door! Great Show! Right Lady reacting to it also!
BEST REACTION EVER!!!!
Thanks for sharing you reaction with us, and here's hoping we all have a great day tomorrow
My Dad laughed like Stumpie, only with a loud wheeze lol.
"There you go again! What would you do if I wasn't here to throw 'em fer ya?"
"I'd throw 'em myself."
"Yeah, you probably would."
This is reportedly Quentin Tarantino's favorite movie of all time. As I recall, he said in an interview that he shows it to potential girlfriends, and their reactions influence his interest in them.
Thank you for reacting to this one. One of my favorite John Wayne movies of all time! And your reactions to everything Stumpy did were PRICELESS!!!! Walter Brennan was awesome in this role.
John Wayne, Dean Martin, and Walter Brennan had great chemistry in this movie, which is one of the reasons it's one of The Duke's best!
Wheeler is played by Ward Bond - a great friend of John Wayne and a regular in his movies. He played the leader of the Texas rangers in The Searchers and the priest in the Quiet Man.
Outstanding reaction. The reason some movies remain great is that the eyes are about the human conditions. Not the topics or politics of the day, This is about duty, true friendship, honor, and choices in life. The ideas of Rio Bravo were relevant in 1959 and will be in 2059. Add great directing, solid acting, and action .. you have a real movie. The young star that played Colorado was Ricky Nelson. He grew up on television playing himself on the show The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet for 17 years. He was a major star of early rock and roll and from about 1957-1962 he was only topped by Elvis in record sales. Great reaction to a really great Western. BTW…. Angie Dickinson was one of the 2 women allowed to play poker with Sinatras Rat Pack. Her friend Dean Martin(Dude) helped to get her this role that made her mainstream popular.
Excellent reaction to a really fun movie thanks to Walter Brennan who played Stumpy. Also fun was the interaction between the Duke and Angie Dickinson playing in her first role as leading lady. We first saw this movie in 1959 when it first came out Your obvious enjoyment warmed our hearts. 🥰
While “El Dorado” does have a similar story line, I really think it’s a completely different film. Robert Mitchum plays the sheriff who becomes a drunk over a woman, and John Wayne plays his friend who has become a hired gunman. The whole story is different from Rio Bravo, yet they do share some similarities. That being said, they are two of my favorite western movies of all time.
✌🏼😎🇺🇸
Good Choice ! According to rumor, John Wayne hated High Noon and made this film as a reaction - sort of "THIS is how that film should have gone".
Having watched both movies, I'm with Wayne and Hawks on this one.
Instead of running around begging for help, stick with a small group of well trained professionals...and Stumpy.
The tossing the silver dollar in the spittoon were attempts to humiliate Dude so that he would go into them to use the silver dollars to buy drinks for himself.
My old-man was a John Wayne fan. When I was a kid and a Wayne flick came on the TV, he, all my brothers, and myself would cooked-up some "Jiffy Pop" (popcorn before microwave). and watched the movie. It was the only time we were all quiet, no arguing, or wrestling (we didn't dare). That was decades ago. To this day, anytime I catch a John Wayne movie, I think of dad.
In case anyone cares, Nathan Burdett was portrayed by John Russell. He was a familiar TV western actor in the 1950s along with Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood and Ward Bond. Russell later acted along with Eastwood as the leader of the gun men wearing dusters in Pale Rider.
He also starred in the TV series Lawman.
Lovely reactions from Dawn Marie, to this superb Rio Bravo movie!
I recommend that Dawn Marie watch the John Wayne western El Dorado, sometime soon!
I love this movie so much. I watched it with my dad when I was a kid. The leading lady does not have a name. In the credits she is only known as Feathers. Big Jake is another of the movies I watched with my dad. oh the memories!
The woman is Angie Dickerson, very popular and had her own police detective show later on. Ricky Nelson was a singer of some notable talent as well.
When I visited the Universal Studios inCalifornia, I remember the guide telling that the decors were sometimes made smaller, especially the entrance doors, so that John Wayne would look taller that he already was. (6 feet 4+1⁄2 inches or 1.94 metres)
Wayne was larger than life, that's for sure.
They also had to cut 2-3 inches off the barrel of the Winchesters he used in the movies so he could do his iconic swing on the rifle one handed. They say the only person to truly cock it stock was Chuck Conners.
@@leefischer5814 The Rifleman, just found that here on RUclips.
TV from before life got weird.
"El Dorado" and "Big Jake" are two more similar Duke movies.
Thank you so much for watching my ALL TIME favorite John Wayne movie, and loving it so much. You’re the best ❤
*Dawn, Watching your reaction to this movie was an absolute delight!! "BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!"* 😁
Great review/reaction!
One of the best westerns ever. Angie Dickinson was one of the prettiest actress ever in her prime, did many films. Most of those in the cast are long gone, but their legacy lives on forever. Thank you for reminding us how great that movie was and thanks for introducing that movie to many younger folks of today. We just don't see films and stars like that today. Great stuff. You might like reacting to a western tv show that Clint Eastwood did way back when, a very young and super handsome Eastwood.
In 1977 I was a freshman at the University of Alabama. 20 of us piled into a Winnebago and drove to L.A. for the USC game. Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle) , who was an alumni, threw a party. Met Angie Dickinson and Don Knotts.
It's great to see a young woman fan of westerns. Not many do but if they were to give westerns a chance I'm sure they would enjoy them. I grew up with westerns since the 50's.
One of my top favorite Westerns!
Two of my favorite movies, 1959 was a great year.
The other is Operation: Petticoat.
I'm so glad you watched this one, I adore this movie! It's a crime that so few folks react to it. My all time favorite western, I never get tired of watching it.
The hotel manager, Carlos, was played by Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez. He was the grandfather of actor Clifton Collins Jr.
Gonzalez appeared in several John Wayne films
There are westerns that deserve being watched over and over. This is one of them. Truly a classic.
Loved your reaction.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. (Where else could I be to love westerns so much! LOL)
Ricky Nelson was teen heartthrob (Born 1940, just 19 years old during this movie) and famous musician and singer. He sadly died way to young, at just 45 in 1985 in an airplane crash he was a passenger on. Dean Martin was also a famous singer, member of the Rat Pack, which included Sammy Davis Jr, Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop. Sinatra was also in a lot of movies, the memorable being 'From Here to Eternity' (a scene parodied in the comedy Airplane) amazing movie. Which stars Montgomery Cliff, who is in Red River with John Wayne. Red River is one of John Wayne's best movies, it's in the High Noon and Shane class of great westerns. Big Jake is probably the most dark and violent of Wayne's westerns. War Wagon, Chisum, Cowboys, The Shootist, The Longest Day. The movie that killed John Wayne was, 'The Conqueror', John Wayne was a victim of Downwinder's Syndrome. Basically people who got exposed to to much radiation from nuclear bomb tests.
I was 11 when I saw this when it first came out and bought the comic book. Ricky Nelson was a TV star and a rock and roll contemporary of Elvis Presley. At the theater, when the final shootout took place, all the young girls would scream every time a shot came close to him.
Hi Dawn, it was wonderful to see you enjoying this film as much as you did. :)
One of my favorite westerns EVER.
Excellent Classic Western movie! Can't miss with J.W. Stumpy is an iconic character! No one ever forgets Stumpy! My favorite also! Luv your classic Western movie choices you'll be yelling Yee Haw.... by the end of this week! Thanks for sharing Dawn Marie ❤️💛🤠
Ricky Nelson was a teen idol in the 1950's, but his songs were a several grades above that, with classics such as "Poor Little Fool", "Teenage Idol", "Lonesome Town", "Travelin Man", and "Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye Heart". Check them out when you can.
Walter Brennan (Stumpy) was my favorite from this film too, as a kid in the 80’s I loved him in The Gnome Mobile (1967). The song scene in this film was always a highlight for me…beautiful voices in harmony! 👌🥰
You’ve watched some great westerns. If you want more recs: Open Range (2003), Dances with Wolves, Tombstone (1993), The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Quigley Down Under (1990), The Man from Snowy River (1982), and Lonesome Dove (miniseries)!
Bad Day at Black Rock is another classic to consider, but people do argue about if it qualifies as a Western.
(It does)
More of a contemporary Western than traditional rope opera.
Black Rock is a great film. I guess if it doesn't qualify, then neither does Giant, Hud or The Last Picture Show, but they are definitely worth watching.
The movies discussed above are generally called neo-western and I would like to add Lonely Are The Brave.
Dawn Marie, you have an infectious laugh, and I LOVE IT! Rio means river in Spanish, Bravo is Spanish for Brave (I think), thus "Brave River" it is an actual river between old Mexico and Texas, although I'm not certain where. I think it could be a tributary of the Rio Grande.
Walter Brennan, who plays Stumpy, has been a character actor for western and rural based movies for many years, he was born on July 25, 1894 and passed away on Sept. 1974, he was a treasure and is sorely missed. There is a good bit about him in Wiki...
I would recommend watching Fifth Element or Die Hard, both star Bruce Willis, they both are considered comedies but they do in fact have their serious moments, 'Element" less so, perhaps. I think you will enjoy them both, and watching you react to them would have my sides splitting in no time.
You are a Bonny Lass!
This is one of my favorite John Wayne movies. Christmas morning to this day when my sister and I head to our fathers house for breakfast he has this movie playing.
Thanks for doing this one. It's a fabulous film that has only been reacted to a few times on RUclips.
One of me favorites! I once owned this film in four languages.
You are on a roll. Excellent choice of Westerns. Looking forward to tomorrow's movie. Also Stumpy (Walter Brennan) was one of the best character actors in Hollywood, with a career that spanned 244 roles over fifty years from 1925 to 1975.
You somehow manage to get around to ALL my favorites, from Fawlty Towers to this. Rock on, Dawn. (El Dorado)
I was really hoping that you would get around to Rio Bravo! And I'm really glad you enjoyed it! It's one of my all time favorite John Wayne movies! And FYI, Stumpy was played by a legendary character actor named Walter Brennen. Rio Bravo is the name of the town, by the way. Can't wait to see what's next on Western Week!
this movie and El Dorado were some of my favorites as a child.
' Rio Bravo' was made by Howard Hawks and John Wayne as a reaction to the movie 'High Noon' where everybody in town refused to help the sheriff ( Gary Cooper ) . . . Hawks and Wayne especially hated it when Gary Cooper threw the badge down and ground it into the dirt , then rode away with his bride . ( Grace Kelly ) Hawks and Wayne felt that Americans would 'never' be cowards . So they made 'Rio Bravo as an answer to 'High Noon' . But to sum up , I enjoyed both 'High Noon' and 'Rio Bravo' , but 'High Noon' has always been my favorite . One think I liked about Howard Hawks was that he often had very 'strong' women in his movies , going back to ' His Girl Friday' with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell , another movie you should check out !
Rio Bravo is a great John Wayne movie. Another excellent John Wayne movie is "Rio Lobo," Fantastic movie where John Wayne was a Union colonel during the Civil War who goes after confederate thieves of the Union payroll. Once the war is over, they all join up to free a town.
Stumpy, played by the legendary Walter Brennan, makes a hilarious impersonation of Chance/Wayne at the movie's end. Brennan ad-libbed this as an internal joke, as was Dean Martin's laughter. Howard Hawks saw the scene and decided to keep it in the movie.
Hi Dawn, great reaction. BTW, the love interest was Angie Dickinson. It's hard to go wrong with either a John Wayne, or a Clint Eastwood western. You should also look out for Randalph Scott or Audy Murphy westerns too.
Couple of guys in the bar, one bets the other he can't take a drink out of the spittoon. Other guy elevates it to his lips, bottoms up and empties the whole thing. First guys says you didn't have to do that to win the bet. Other guy says. "It was all one strand."
I never thought I'd see a woman so smitten with Walter Brennan.
I watched that movie at the age of 14. Now i am 48 and still love it.
