REVIEWS

Review by James Coddington (posted on 16-Aug-2007)

This is one of the best films that John Wayne ever made. If I have seen it once I have seen it at least 70 times. I also have the DVD of it and will keep watching it over and over again. I don't know why but all of John Wayne's movies never gets old to me. I have 4 of his best movies and will buy more of them as I go along. This country has lost many important people but three of them John Wayne, Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson have been among the most important ones for us. Where ever they are may God be standing by thier side and watching their movie Rio Bravo. Jim Coddington Salina, Kansas
