Original Release 1959, Color
From the DVD Case:
On one side is an army of gunman dead-set on springing a murderous cohort from jail. On the other is Sheriff John T. Chance (John Wayne) and his two deputies: one a recovering drunk (Dean Martin), the other a crippled codger (Walter Brennan). Also in their ragtag ranks are an unseasoned, trigger-happy youth (Ricky Nelson) and a woman with a past (Angie Dickinson) - and her eye on Chance. Director Howard Hawks lifted the Western to new heights with Red River. Capturing the legendary West with a stellar cast in peak form, he does it again here.
"Arguably Hawks' greatest film. Beautifully acted, wonderfully observed and scripted with enormous wit and generosity." ---Geoff Andrew, Time Out Film Guide
