Reacting to RIO BRAVO (1959) | Movie Reaction

[@keithdean9149]

Dude, the drunk, is played by Dean Martin. Colorado, the young gunfighter, is played by Ricky Nelson. Both were incredibly popular singers of the time. Hearing them singing together is one of the best highlights of this movie.

[@Philbert-s2c]

Similar? They're the same movie.

[@Grynslvr2]

@@Philbert-s2c Not the same, merely a very similar plot. Everything else was slightly different too, therefore the movies are very similar, but not the same. For instance, Ricky Nelson's character was cool and he sang, whereas James Caan's character was a buffoon used for comic relief. His character was built on the old joke about never bringing a knife to a gunfight. I've developed a dislike for James Caan over the years, so I prefer this movie. Also, I can't see Robert Mitchum singing "My Rifle, My Pony, and Me." Now there is a funny thought for you. GRIN

Stumpy was played by the great Walter Brennan who had a very long career, starting in the 20s and continuing until his passing in 1974. He won three Oscars for Best Supporting Actor, for _Come and Get It_ (1936), _Kentucky_ (1938), and _The Westerner_ (1940). Two of his most memorable roles are in _Meet John Doe_ (1941, dir.

Walter Brennan, the actor who plays Stumpy, starred in the television show _'The Real McCoys'_ (1957-1963) and one of the local television stations aired reruns during my childhood. Only later, through great movies like this one, did I become aware that he had a long career in film.

I love how invested you are in the characters of these old films.

Dawn there is a remake of this movie called El Dorado, with John Wayne and Robert Mitchum, from a few years late which is also pretty darn good too!

[@davidrichards6509]

Stumpy is played by the great Walter Brennan. In the Robin Williams box office smash hit movie "Good Morning Vietnam" it's Walter Brennan's "shapely ankles" that bar owner Jimmy keeps asking for pictures of. There are only a very few memories I still have from when I started attending school in the mid-60's but one that is VERY clear is while eating breakfast before school each morning the TV would be playing an episode of the (already in syndication) hillbilly sitcom "The Real McCoy's". The "kid" Colorado is played by 1950's pop singer and radio/TV sitcom star Rick Nelson. Ricky's biggest selling hits in the 50's were "Traveling Man" and "Poor Little Fool". You may be more familiar with his equally musically talented twin sons "The Nelsons". Ricky starred with his parents and older brother David in the very popular family sitcom, first on radio and then on TV, "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet". "Feathers" is played by Angie Dickenson who has the distinction of having been the ONLY EVER female member of "the Rat Pack". Then in the 1970's she "broke" a "glass ceiling" when she starred in ABC television's series "Police Woman" which was the first "successful" long running American television police drama featuring a female actor in the lead/title role. Without Angie Dickenson's success there might never have been a "Cagney and Lacey"(Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless) or a "former FBI profiler" Brenda Lee Johnson(Kyra Sedgwick-Bacon) as "The Closer" or her successor Captain Sharon Raydor(Mary "Stands With A Fist" McDonnell) in "Major Crimes" or a Detective Joss Carter(Taraji P Henson) in "Person of Interest" or etc etc etc Speaking of the Rat Pack...if you've already seen or are planning to see the casino heist movie "Ocean's 11" be sure you check out the ORIGINAL starring the ENTIRE Rat Pack. It is IMHO a thousand times better than the really really effed up version with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia and ....

[@virtuallyveronicka]

Walter Brennan (Stumpy) was my favorite from this film too, as a kid in the 80’s I loved him in The Gnome Mobile (1967).

Outstanding reaction. The reason some movies remain great is that the eyes are about the human conditions. Not the topics or politics of the day, This is about duty, true friendship, honor, and choices in life. The ideas of Rio Bravo were relevant in 1959 and will be in 2059. Add great directing, solid acting, and action .. you have a real movie. The young star that played Colorado was Ricky Nelson. He grew up on television playing himself on the show The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet for 17 years. He was a major star of early rock and roll and from about 1957-1962 he was only topped by Elvis in record sales. Great reaction to a really great Western. BTW…. Angie Dickinson was one of the 2 women allowed to play poker with Sinatras Rat Pack. Her friend Dean Martin(Dude) helped to get her this role that made her mainstream popular.

Dawn Marie, you have an infectious laugh, and I LOVE IT! Rio means river in Spanish, Bravo is Spanish for Brave (I think), thus "Brave River" it is an actual river between old Mexico and Texas, although I'm not certain where. I think it could be a tributary of the Rio Grande. Walter Brennan, who plays Stumpy, has been a character actor for western and rural based movies for many years, he was born on July 25, 1894 and passed away on Sept. 1974, he was a treasure and is sorely missed. There is a good bit about him in Wiki... I would recommend watching Fifth Element or Die Hard, both star Bruce Willis, they both are considered comedies but they do in fact have their serious moments, 'Element" less so, perhaps. I think you will enjoy them both, and watching you react to them would have my sides splitting in no time. You are a Bonny Lass!

Another great Western with Dean Martin is "Bandolero" with Jimmy Stewart and Raquel Welch. Sort of like this one in several ways, and a great watch! I saw it in the theaters back in 1968.

20:34 Hello from Kansas, USA! You said that you wanted a badge. Well, a couple of them are on their way. I'm glad that you enjoy Westerns, and I enjoy your reactions.

Since you like Walter Brennan (Stumpy) and black and white movies you might be interested in the Academy Award winner for 1941. It is the Gary Cooper movie, SERGEANT YORK, a biopic on the mst decorated allied soldier from WWI. And like Desmond Doss, he was also a conscientious objector. Good movie, a little dated and not nearly as gory or intense as HACKSAW RIDGE, but it still holds up quite well. You'll like it.

“Stumpy” (Walter Brennan) was a two time Academy Award winner. You would like him in The Westerner with Gary Cooper and the Far Country with Jimmy Stewart besides a bunch of other sidekick and supporting actor roles. And later in Support Your Local Sheriff.

@@bennychristensen4314 Yeah, THE WESTERNER would be a great pick for Walter Brennan too. I'll second that one. But SERGEANT YORK, first.

[@RoninUK-e3u]

Sadly in real life Brenna was considered on of the most hateful men in Hollywood for his racist and radical anti communist views.

Big thumbs up to Sargent York (and maybe sometime in the future - Pride of the Yankees)

Angie Dickerson. One of the all-time beauties. if you saw her today and didn't know who she was, you would look at her and say, this lady must have been beautiful when she was young

[@paulpeacock1181]

She had a very popular t.v. series called Police Woman.(late seventies early eighties)

[@stickman1742]

@@paulpeacock1181 She was in her mid 40s and still incredibly beautiful and sexy.

[@leefischer5814]

She grew up in Kulm, North Dakota about 40 miles away from where I grew up....and they say we're a flyover state😂. If they knew Dickinson was there the planes would have halted.

[@jakubfabisiak9810]

Dickinson bares it all in Big Bad Mama in 1974, and she's smokin' hot.

[@melanie62954]

This is such a fantastic movie. I think Dawn would love Hatari too!

[@kevin982]

I concur. She IS the prettiest woman ever.
