Description
A vintage reprint of the ''Rio Lobo'' a 1970 American Western film directed by Howard Hawks and starring John Wayne. The film is notable for being one of the last collaborations between director Howard Hawks and John Wayne, as well as for its traditional Western themes and action sequences.
John Wayne plays the character of Colonel Cord McNally, a Union officer during the Civil War. The film's story follows McNally as he seeks to uncover a traitor within his own ranks responsible for a Confederate ambush. Years later, after the war has ended, McNally stumbles upon the same traitor in a Texas town called Rio Lobo, now a haven for lawlessness and corruption. He forms an alliance with old friends and allies, including a Confederate officer, to take on the corrupt sheriff and his gang.
"Rio Lobo" is known for its classic Western elements, including gunfights, horseback chases, and the themes of honor, justice, and loyalty that are often associated with the genre. The film also features Jorge Rivero as Cordona, Jennifer O'Neill as Shasta Delaney, and Jack Elam as Phillips, adding to the Western ensemble.
While "Rio Lobo" may not be as acclaimed as some of John Wayne's earlier Westerns, it is appreciated by fans of traditional Western cinema for its action-packed sequences and the familiar dynamic between Wayne and director Howard Hawks. It is often seen as a nod to the classic Westerns of the past.
"Rio Lobo" marks the end of an era in Western filmmaking, as it was one of the last collaborations between Howard Hawks and John Wayne. It pays homage to the conventions and tropes of the genre and remains a notable entry in the filmographies of both the director and the iconic Western actor.
