Burdette's men cut the town off to prevent Chance from getting Joe into Rio Bravo (1959) more secure surroundings, and then the hired guns come in, waiting around for their chance to break him out of jail. Chance has to wait for the United States marshal to show up, in six days, his only help from Stumpy (Walter Brennan), a toothless, cantankerous old deputy with a bad leg who guards the jail, and Dude (Dean Martin), his former deputy, who's spent the last two years stumbling around in a drunken stupor over a woman that left him. Chance's friend, trail boss Pat Wheeler (Ward Bond), arrives at the outset of the siege and tries to help, offering the services of himself and his drovers as deputies, which Chance turns down, saying they're not professionals and would be too worried about their families to be good at anything except being targets for Burdette's men; but Chance does try to enlist the services of Wheeler's newest employee, a callow- looking young gunman named Colorado Ryan (Ricky Nelson), who politely turns him down, saying he prefers to mind his own business. In the midst of all of this tension, Feathers (Angie Dickinson), a dance hall entertainer, arrives in town and nearly gets locked up by Chance for cheating at cards, until he finds out that he was wrong and that she's not guilty - - this starts a verbal duel between the two of them Theatrical release poster (Wikipedia) that grows more sexually intense as the movie progresses and she finds herself in the middle of Chance's fight.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.

  • Rio Bravo by Michael Schlesinger
    Rio Bravo By Michael Schlesinger There’s a little-known micro-genre I’ve dubbed “testament films.” They’re made late in a director’s career, when he gathers up all his favorite character types, plot threads, themes and person- al tics and melds them into one big cin- ematic Greatest Hits album. Often they’re made because the filmmaker feels he’s losing touch and wants to re- treat to safe ground, especially if he’s had one or more flops. Or perhaps he believes the end of his career is nigh and wants to make one really big final splash. But whatever the rationale, they often turn out to be some of their finest works; e.g., Hitchcock’s “North By Northwest,” DeMille’s “The Ten Ricky Nelson’s guitar playing doesn’t seem to impress John Wayne. Courtesy Commandments,” Welles’ “Chimes At Library of Congress Collection. Midnight” and Wilder’s “One Two Three.” John Ford managed two: “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” and “Cheyenne Autumn.” In 1955, Hawks was running for the tall grass. He’d tried something different—the Biblical epic “Land of And of course Howard Hawks’ “Rio Bravo.” From the Pharoahs”—and laid a goose egg. (He later said Variety’s infamously patronizing “one of the better that he didn’t know how a Pharoah talked—death in- class oaters of the year” to Robin Wood’s stunning deed for a director whose films are renowned for their “the one film that justifies the existence of Holly- witty dialogue.) Approaching 60 and not accustomed wood,” this low-key, amiable western has been de- to failure, he took years off to wander the desert lighting and confounding people in equal measure (actually France) and figure out what to do next.

    This article first appeared in Vierundzwanzigfteljahrsfchrift der Internationalen Maultrommelvirtuofengenoffenschaft (VIM for short) in issue 6 and is published with the kind permission of Frederick Crane The Trump in the Movies up to 1997 by Frederick Crane If you're like me, there's a little sensor built into your nervous system that, whenever the slightest hint of that unique sound of a trump is detected, in a recording, on radio, on TV, in a movie, switches into full command mode, shutting off all irrelevant signals--other sights and sounds, including whatever pressing matters your spouse is trying to talk to you about--and focuses your entire consciousness on that sound. The utter uniqueness of the trump's sound helps. Guitars, lutes, and mandolins all sound somewhat alike; pipe organs, reed organs, and electronic organs are similar to a degree; but nothing sounds like the trump. Combine such an alertness to the trump's sound with a lifelong compulsion to make files, and you've pretty much got me pegged. What follows is merely the disgorging of the contents of my TRUMP IN THE MOVIES file. I have distributed these ninety-odd films into six categories: Animated Cartoons, Westerns, Modern Rural Settings, Comedy, Drama and Biography, and Documentaries and Instruction. These will be discussed in turn, followed by my conclusions and a checklist of films. Not all of these titles can easily be categorized; I don't guarantee that I've got it right. And there are quite a few films that I have not seen or have seen only in part; the discussion of these will be brief.
