Rio Bravo

(Usa 1959, 141’, Hd, col., o.v. it. s/t)

In Rio Bravo, a small hamlet in Arizona, sheriff John T. Chance is waging open war against the powerful gang of the Burdette brothers. One evening, following a saloon brawl, one of the Burdettes kills a cowboy in cold blood and Chance arrests him. However, he will have to face enemies ready for anything. An allusive comedy, wonderfully camouflaged as a Western.
