Both Wayne's and Brennan's rifles are displayed in the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.
RIO BRAVO (1959) Shootout - John Wayne and Walter Brennan (video)
Dyn-eemite lol. If you know you know.
El Dorado, the relative Rio Bravo , Rio Lobo and McClintock. Movies that don’t wear out after seeing them 5-1 times as I have.
El Dorado as the mirror image of Rio Bravo was a fun idea.
Switching the roles of the washed up guy, the heroic one and so on.
One way to have the best seat in the house.

Rio Bravo and El Dorado are essentially the same movie with different actors. The plot is almost identical in each. I prefer Rio Bravo because of Angie Dickinson. Man I thought she was sexy in that movie.
RE: Angie Dickinson
Yes, one of the women who seems to emanate beauty and femaleness from the screen.
She said once Frank Sinatra and the other Rat Pack members thought of having her as the first woman in the Pack.
“But I couldn’t pass the physical. They could drink and sing for one or two sets at a night club, then work on lines to memorize for a movie shooting the next day and get by on two hours sleep in a helicopter or a limo.
I was tired and needed my rest.”
I watch that movie every time it shows up. What an exciting life I have, right?
With all deference to Angie Dickinson and her legs...for me, Dean Martin stole every scene. And he sure could sing.

Great flick.

Walter Brennan owed much of his success to his tooth loss at an early age.
For many of his most notable roles, he was required to remove his dentures, so that became one of his most “attractive” features.
“RE: Angie Dickinson”
A marvel of genetics.

Angie Dickinson is 93!
Wyane wanted to be in this movie because he d8spised the Leftists Hogh Noon, and the whole town abandoning the Sherrif. To 5 Wrstern
Did Brennan have a real limp ?
This may be my all-time favorite western. Loved it when I was a kid, and still love it to this day.
I recall some movie where Angie showed everything, and I mean everything in a shower scene.
If I’m not mistaken she was one of JFK’s flings.
