One of the reasons John Wayne was so great

If you had to rank John Wayne's films, Rio Bravo would definitely rank near the top (but not better than The Searchers). The plot is fairly standard but Wayne is in top form, and he's joined by great supporting turns from Dean Martin, Angie Dickinson, and Ricky Nelson. My only gripe is that the romance between Wayne and Dickinson blossoms into love practically overnight, but regardless, the rest of the action is solid.
