It's interesting to compare the film to the remake "El Dorado". I think Robert Mitchum makes a better drunk, although Dean Martin has more vulnerability,and James Caan plays a better role than Ricky Nelson. But Rio Bravo is still a better film.

Rio Bravo
John Wayne (again), Dean Martin and another study in friendship, this time from Howard Hawks. The opening scene, of which this clip is the follow-up, is a masterclass from Wayne on how to act by not acting.

From "The Quiet Man"
"Red Will" Danaher: I'll count three, and if you're not out of the house by then, I'll loose the dogs on you.
Thornton: If you say "three," mister, you'll never hear the man count "ten."
The relevant part starts at 0:45:30.
I remember me and my Dad having competitions to see who could remember quotes from our favorite films. This was always one we would use.
