George Bourke

Howard Hawks' direction is almost flawless with a tempo that injects humor, some dry some raucous, as a handy antibiotic for the story's frequent feverish outbursts of violence.

'Rio Bravo' is one of the clearest samples of what could be called "Hawks style", a pinnacle of one of the three genres that the Indiana director handled with enviable style and ease: the western. [Full Review in Spanish]

Director Howard Hawks, who made Red River in 1948, has come up with another big, handsome and entertaining western.

It's long but involving, with an unexpectedly good performance from Dean Martin.
