Rio Bravo is a 1959 American Western film directed by Howard Hawks and starring John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson, and Walter Brennan. Set in a small Texas town, the story follows Sheriff John T. Chance (played by Wayne) as he arrests the brother of a powerful rancher for murder. With only a recovering alcoholic deputy (Martin), a young gunslinger (Nelson), and an aging sidekick (Brennan) to help him, Chance must hold the prisoner in jail until U.S. Marshals arrive, while fending off the rancher’s hired gunmen.
The film is celebrated for its strong character dynamics, witty dialogue, and blend of action, drama, and humor. It also stands out for its musical interludes, with Martin and Nelson performing songs that added to the movie’s charm.
Today, Rio Bravo is regarded as a classic Western and one of Howard Hawks’ finest works, influencing later films in the genre for decades. Take a look at these vintage photos to see portraits of Angie Dickinson during the filming of Rio Bravo in 1959.
