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.
