"Rio Bravo" (1959)
-John Wayne, Dean Martin, Angie Dickinson
The sheriff of a small town in southwest Texas must keep custody of a murderer whose brother, a powerful rancher, is trying to help him escape. After a friend is killed trying to muster support for him, he and his deputies - a disgraced drunk and a cantankerous old cripple - must find a way to hold out against the rancher's hired guns until the marshal arrives. In the meantime, matters are complicated by the presence of a young gunslinger - and a mysterious beauty who just came in on the last stagecoach.
I love this movie. In my opinion, it's Wayne's most "enjoyable" movie. "The Searchers" is his masterpiece and his greatest film, but this one is more fun.
Great cast (and wasn't Angie Dickinson just drop dead gorgeous )and a fun story.
