Director Howard Hawks and John Wayne made this response to <a href="/films/824/000035719/">High Noon</a> (1952), where the protagonist is always asking for help. In <i>Rio Bravo</i>, John Wayne never asks even if it is desperately needed. Dean Martin is memorable as the drunk deputy Borachon, in the most difficult acting role of his career.<p> <span style="color: blue" onClick="show_trailer()">[watch trailer]</div><p> <table border=1 class="sortable bordered" id="sort_actors"> <tr><th><b>Name</b></th><th><b>Occupation</b></th><th><b>Birth</b></th><th>Death</b></th><th><b>Known for</b></th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/313/000026235/"><font size=-1>Claude Akins</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>25-May-1926</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>27-Jan-1994</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/702/000274877/"><font size=-1>Malcolm Atterbury</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>20-Feb-1907</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>16-Aug-1992</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>Vaudevillian, character actor</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/053/000078816/"><font size=-1>Ward Bond</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>9-Apr-1903</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>5-Nov-1960</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Wagon Train</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/347/000032251/"><font size=-1>Walter Brennan</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>25-Jul-1894</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>21-Sep-1974</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>Three Oscars for Best Supporting Actor</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/443/000023374/"><font size=-1>Angie Dickinson</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>30-Sep-1931</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Police Woman</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/349/000353287/"><font size=-1>Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>24-May-1925</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>6-Feb-2006</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Rio Bravo</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/871/000023802/"><font size=-1>Dean Martin</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Singer</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>7-Jun-1917</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>25-Dec-1995</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>Member of Rat Pack</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/183/000057012/"><font size=-1>Ricky Nelson</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Musician</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>8-May-1940</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>31-Dec-1985</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>I'm Walkin'</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/625/000102319/"><font size=-1>John Russell</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>3-Jan-1921</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>19-Jan-1991</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Lawman</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/605/000023536/"><font size=-1>John Wayne</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>26-May-1907</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>11-Jun-1979</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>The Duke</td> </tr> </table> <p><font size=+1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=red><b>CAST</b></font><p><table border=0><tr><td><a href="/people/605/000023536/">John Wayne</a></td><td>   ...   John T.

If I have seen it once I have seen it at least 70 times. I also have the DVD of it and will keep watching it over and over again. I don't know why but all of John Wayne's movies never gets old to me. I have 4 of his best movies and will buy more of them as I go along. This country has lost many important people but three of them John Wayne, Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson have been among the most important ones for us. Where ever they are may God be standing by thier side and watching their movie Rio Bravo.
