*American Movie Classics (AMC)* *_Rio Bravo_ (1959)* *All times are Eastern ... Check Local Schedules if U get AMC.* Thu, Jul 23, 8:00 PM Fri, Jul 24, 5:00 PM Annoyed that the acclaimed and popular HIGH NOON portrayed a sheriff so afraid of his adversaries that he spends most of the movie asking the townsfolk for help, director Howard Hawks decided to make a filmed response, namely RIO BRAVO. A lengthy, leisurely paced film, RIO BRAVO is set in a small Texas border town, Rio Bravo, that is under the control of evil cattle baron Russell and his dim-witted brother, Akins. When Akins commits a murder, the sheriff (Wayne), throws him in jail to await the arrival of a US Marshall. Russell lays seige to the jailhouse, and Wayne is forced to rely on the town drunk (Martin), a cranky old cripple (Brennan), and an untested young gunslinger (Nelson) for help.

Thanks for the info!!!

*_PER WIKIPEDIA_:* *Remakes* The film has been informally remade twice as a Western, although on each occasion under a different title. Both of these remakes were directed by Hawks, both starred John Wayne and in each case, the script was written by Leigh Brackett. The first remake, _El Dorado_, was released in 1967. In this film, Robert Mitchum played the Dean Martin role, Arthur Hunnicutt the Walter Brennan character and James Caan the Ricky Nelson role. Hawks again named the Nelson/Caan character after a state (in this case, Mississippi) and in a wry, humorous twist on the original film, Hawks made him inept with firearms, but skilled with a knife. The second remake, _Rio Lobo_, was made in 1970 with a plot much farther off the original mold, starting with the absence of a lawman-turned-drunkard character. This began with a Confederate train robbery of a Union gold shipment during the American Civil War, then moved to a post-war Texas county thoroughly controlled by a rich, arrogant rancher. The heroes, with the exception of an old man similar to Brennan's and Hunnicutt's characters in the previous pictures (Jack Elam here), were complete outsiders. Along with Wayne and Elam, this movie starred Mexican film star Jorge Rivero (as Frenchie), Christopher Mitchum (Robert Mitchum's son) and Jennifer O'Neill.

*Marilyn Monroe's bra and stockings up for auction* By Lauren Turner, Press Association Thursday 16 July 2009 bra and stockings belonging to screen icon Marilyn Monroe are expected to fetch thousands when they go under the hammer this weekend. The bra, believed to have been worn by Monroe in the late 1950s. It has a double-cup structure and two sets of straps, but apparently would have been almost impossible to see under clothing. Auctioneer Richard Davie of Nottingham-based International Autograph Auctions, said the double cup made the cleavage look more 'ample than it actually was'. "There is such an interesting story to it, but obviously the main attraction is that it was owned by Marilyn Monroe. "She is such a household name, and still has a lot of fans around the world. "To own something like a bra from such a sex symbol is quite an exciting thing for any Marilyn Monroe enthusiast." The bra is expected to reach ?2,000 when it is auctioned at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel, Heathrow, on Saturday. The size 9M Christian Dior stockings, still with their original paper wrapping, will attract bids of up to ?1,500, Mr Davie believes.

*Sorry for some reason I wasn't able to get this posted in time for the showing on AMC!* ‎Jul 12, 2009‎ *‎Starting on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 at 8PM ET, American Movie Classics (AMC) will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of one of the most renown westerns of all time, Rio Bravo.* 1959's Rio Bravo was an all-star collaboration featuring Hollywood icon John Wayne, and directed by legendary director Howard Hawks. Wayne is supported in the film by rat-packer Dean Martin, 1950's teen idol Ricky Nelson and the lovely Angie Dickinson. Rounding out the cast are Walter Brennan, Ward Bond, John Russell, Harry Carey Junior and Claude Akins. Wayne portrays small town Sheriff John T. Chance. Chance is responsible for holding a murderer named Joe Burdett (Claude Akins) in the town lock-up until Burdett can stand trial. Joe Burdett is the brother of a wealthy land baron (John Russell as Nathan Burdett), who is determined to spring his miscreant brother from the hoosgow before the U.S Marshal can arrive and seal Joe's fate. Nathan Burdett has extensive financial resources at his command, which he utilizes to employ hired guns to get the job done. Sheriff Chance's forces originally consist of two deputies, an alcoholic named Dude (Dean Martin) and a senior citizen with an impaired leg named Stumpy (Walter Brennan). This trio is eventually joined by a young sharpshooting drifter with the moniker Colorado (Ricky Nelson). Complicating the sheriff's dilemma is his evasive relationship with a beautiful dance hall performer called Feathers (Angie Dickinson). Dude sobers up to better the odds, and though some ingenuity, combined effort and expert marksmanship, the good guys eventually prevail. There is considerable time within the movie when the group is holed up in the town jail house in order to secure their prisoner. At one point, Martin and Nelson, both accomplished musical performers, employ their vocal talents in order to pass the time. Martin and Nelson sing the song ?My Rifle, My Pony and Me?, with a Nelson's accompaniment on the guitar. Martin and Nelson then pick up the tempo by jamming the folk song ?Cindy, Cindy?, with Brennan offering his contribution as well. Howard Hawks is considered to be one of the finest directors in history and this project was one of his best. Hawks received a ?Best Director? nomination for his efforts. The film was so popular and successful that Hawks resurrected the plot two times after ?Rio Bravo?, both times with John Wayne as the leading man. The more conspicuous of the two remakes is the 1967 film El Dorado, with Robert Mitchum in Dean Martin's role, Mitchum being the drunken town sheriff sobered up by Wayne, his loyal friend. James Caan filled the place of Ricky Nelson, except this time the young character was called Mississippi and he couldn't shoot. El Dorado was also James Caan's first film role. Arthur Hunnicutt's character Bull replaced Brennan's Stumpy. The film was shot at Old Tucson Studios, just outside Tucson, Arizona. *In addition to Tuesday night's broadcast, TMC will air ?Rio Bravo? on Wednesday, July 15 at 3PM ET, Thursday, July 23 at 8PM ET and Friday, July 24 at 5PM ET.*
