Dean Martin Is Dude In Rio Bravo

Dean Martin loves westerns. He made quite a few of them. I plan to cover some of them in detail in the future. I wanted to post some pictures and posters from Rio Bravo. This 1959 western starred John Wayne, Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson. A small-town sheriff enlists the help of his deputies and others to prevent a murderer from being broken out of jail by his powerful rancher brother. John Wayne plays Sheriff John T. Chance, Dean Martin is his drunken deputy called Dude & Ricky Nelson is a young gunslinger known as Colorado Ryan. I want to write a proper review for this film in the future.

Here is a clip of Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson singing My Rifle, My Pony & Me. I think it's a really beautiful song. I hope you like it.

I really like all those movie posters! And all the stills from the movie are awesome too...I've never heard of this movie before. Dean looks really good in the 6th picture too...even with the sweat and blood :) The song is definitely really nice too! Thanks for sharing it with us Keith :)

I"m not one for the old westerns but my father was a huge vintage/retro western freak when I was growing up.

Hey Allison. Thanks. I'm glad I could share this movie with you. It's a really good western. Dino did some awesome ones. This is probably the best. I appreciate your comments. Take care.

Hey Steph. Glad to see you're a fan of this movie. Thanks. That will be great. I hope to start working on a review soon.

Keith said...

Thanks Marta.

Keith said...

Hey Amy. That's okay. My sister can't stand westerns. That's cool about your dad. I got into westerns due to my dad and some uncles.

Keith said...

Hey Gingey. That's really cool. Glad you're a fan of this film.

Hey James. Thanks. It is a cool movie. I like the clothes in it myself. Ricky does look awesome in it.

I usually don't care for westerns, but I did like this one. I love that song.

Keith said...

Hey Phoebe. Glad you liked this western even if you aren't a fan of the genre. Dino did make some really good westerns over the years.

Do you what I've never seen it - or the Elvis film Charro

Jim @ CoolStuffForDads.com said...

I didn't know he did Westerns. I watched a lot of Ozzie and Harriet re-runs growing up.

Keith said...

Hey Dave. I hope you get a chance to see it. I've never seen Charro before.

Keith said...

Hey Jim. Yeah, Dino and Ricky were both good in this movie.

Robert M. Lindsey said...

Rio Bravo is the best western. You know Howard Hawks and John Wayne made this in response to High Noon. They hated that movie.

Fantastic shots and posters, I always think of Dean as a man of the suave, suit sporting set, so it's cool when I'm reminded that there was a different, rugged side to this incredibly talented man.


Hope you're having an awesome week!

Keith said...

Hey Clare. Thanks. Glad you liked these posters. So true.

Keith said...

Hey Jessica. Thanks. I find many people who are surprised when I bring up that Dino did a lot of westerns. I guess they find it hard to imagine him in them. He would very good in westerns.

Keith said...

Hey Mary. Thanks. That's cool. I wanna watch it again very soon.

Wonderful. Chance, Dude, Colorado and Stumpy... What a team! I love this film by Hawks. I think the song is one of the most exciting moments in the movie.

Greetings, Keith, and congratulations for the blog.
