But is a rare story that has resulted in two very good films. Mr. Bleecker is wrong is stating that Hawks responded to 3:10 with Rio Bravo. He was upset at High Noon, in which no one in the town helps Cooper.

I believe RIO BRAVO was made in response to the ’57 because the director was so aggravated by Glenn Ford’s threats and Van Hefflin’s cowering. In RIO BRAVO, bad guy Claude Akins threatens sheriff John Wayne saying you’ll be sorry when my brother and his men come and bust me out. Wayne replies, you better pray they don’t show up, because the first one to get shot is gonna be you. That film was a fantasy Western, but a lot of fun. BTW, your evening would never happen in my house. When it comes to Westerns – books or movies – I am on my own.Elgin Bleeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417587392887691664noreply@blogger.com
