Identity Crisis
I wonder if all the 5-star reviewers saw a different film than the one I watched. This is easily Howard Hawks' weakest Western and probably one of his worst films overall. The underlying problem is that it's hard to tell if it is supposed to be a serious film or a spoof; it tries to play on both sides of the fence, and that just doesn't work.

The Duke's performance is about average for him, but there seems to be a little spark missing from his acting; I wonder if he was a reluctant participant. Dean Martin (and I am a big fan) gave an unconvincing performance as a drunkard who is trying to reform. The problem with Martin is that a person never really knows when to take him seriously.

Walter Brennan was his usual irritating self. Ricky Nelson was wooden and flat. Angie Dickinson overacted, and I felt the film would have been better without her part. Ward Bond's performance was probably the best of all the major players, but it was a minor role.

The "romance" between Wayne and Dickinson was very, very awkward and unenjoyable. The caricature-like treatment of the Mexican roles was embarrassing. And, at 2 hours and 21 minutes, the film was about 30 minutes too long; I found myself fast-forwarding a lot at the end.

Hawks' second attempt at this story, El Dorado, is a MUCH, much better film. Even the much-maligned Rio Lobo is a lot more enjoyable. Rio Bravo is a DVD that will not remain in my library.

good old westerns
In todays hustle and bustle world, it's nice to occasionally relax and watch an old fashioned western with real "good guys". This movie is fun entertainment for the whole family and even has a little singing with Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson. I'm so glad we still have movies like this available on disc.

Pure Cowboy Slock!
Old Wooden Wayne and twenty-something Angie Dickinson with the most uncomfortable hooey dialog ever written. It was just awful. And Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson as cowboys, come on! Just an awful film. See Wayne in any Maureen O'Hara film, a thousand times better.
