Got a text message from a good friend yesterday. He was returning to Raleigh from San Diego and thought I’d like to know that his in-flight entertainment was Howard Hawks’ Rio Bravo (1959), followed by The Cowboys (1972, below).
Let’s hope his snack was a package of beef jerky from John Wayne Stock & Supply Company.
You know, in these days of terrorists and bombs in tennis shoes, it must be comforting to fly with John Wayne.
The danger being in turning to the flight attendant and saying, “Sorry don’t get it done, Dude.”
Love RIO BRAVO, but like the remake (EL DORADO) even more.
