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.

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.

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 :)
ReplyDeleteHey Keith, I love this movie, when you write your more official review for it I will supply you with tons of HQ caps!

ReplyDeleteI"m not one for the old westerns but my father was a huge vintage/retro western freak when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteI really love this film it's in my box collection....
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a pretty cool movie. I love the wardrobe's used, especially Ricky Nelson's....

hi keith!
ReplyDeletei love to see these old movie posters.

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.
ReplyDeleteHey 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marta.
ReplyDeleteHey 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.
ReplyDeleteHey Gingey. That's really cool. Glad you're a fan of this film.
ReplyDeleteHey James. Thanks. It is a cool movie. I like the clothes in it myself. Ricky does look awesome in it.
ReplyDeleteHey Maria. Thanks. Dino could play all sorts of roles. This movie does show that. I love this film. It's such an awesome western.
ReplyDeleteHey Janet. Thanks. Glad you enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteHey Proudly. Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the posters. I thought they were cool.
ReplyDeleteI usually don't care for westerns, but I did like this one. I love that song.
ReplyDeleteHey 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.
ReplyDeleteDo you what I've never seen it - or the Elvis film Charro
ReplyDeleteI didn't know he did Westerns. I watched a lot of Ozzie and Harriet re-runs growing up.
ReplyDeleteHey Dave. I hope you get a chance to see it. I've never seen Charro before.
ReplyDeleteHey Jim. Yeah, Dino and Ricky were both good in this movie.
ReplyDeleteRio 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.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having an awesome week!

ReplyDeleteHey Clare. Thanks. Glad you liked these posters. So true.
ReplyDeleteHey 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.
ReplyDeleteHey Mary. Thanks. That's cool. I wanna watch it again very soon.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. 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.
