My Rifle, My Pony, and Me from Rio Bravo



My favorite western Rio Bravo and one of the best scenes features Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson singing My Rifle, My Pony, and Me. Good stuff.
MOVIE CLIP- RIO BRAVO.

Dawn One of my favorite Hawks westerns .(Red River would have 6to be in first place with this a very close second). Some "Fun Facts. If you watch Gun Fight At OK Corral , you will see that Rio Bravo was shot at the same location. This film was Hawks And Wayne's response to what they did not like about the Film High Noon. Angie's role is a slightly different version (not much) of the Role Jean Arthur Played in Only Angels Have Wings, and Lauren's in To Have And Have Not. In Fact Hawks used almost the same line spoken by all three in each film. Dawn Do yo u know what it is?
Hawks also remade this film as Eldorado with Robert Mitchum playing a version of Dean's part, short of.

Monty, I agree. Rio Bravo, is one of my favorite westerns too. And one of my favorite scenes is with Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson singing My Rifle, My Pony, and Me. I should not admit this, but.. my husband and I sing right along with them. My husband also likes to imitate Stumpy.

Paul,(In Fact Hawks used almost the same line spoken by all three in each film.)I need to think about this one a minute. We have Eldorado in our DVD collection. Also one of my favorite films. Thank you for the awesome "fun facts".
