An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More) Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo, the classic 1959 Howard Hawks romantic cowboy western ("You've seen nothing like 'em together...and in the heat and hate of Rio Bravo nothing can tear 'em apart!"; "They caught all hell - and hurled it back - at Rio Bravo!"; "...and Dean and Ricky sing too! 'My Rifle, My Pony and Me' 'Rio Bravo' 'Cindy'"; "Hear Dean and Ricky Sing..."; "John Wayne The big guy with the battered hat... and Dean Martin the ragged woman-wrecked castoff called Dude... and Ricky Nelson the rockin' baby-faced gunfisted kid... And time was running out through bullet holes at 'Rio Bravo'"; "Dean and Ricky sing, too!"; about a western town where the sheriff arrests the son of the richest man in town, and the family tries to break him out, and the sheriff only has an old man, a drunk, and a teenager to back him up!) starring John Wayne ("The big guy with the battered hat..."; as John T. Chance), Dean Martin ("Dude - the wreckage piled up by a fast woman..."; "the ragged woman-wrecked castoff called Dude..."), Ricky Nelson ("The rockin' baby-faced gunfisted Kid..."; as Colorado), Angie Dickinson ("Feathers.. The one girl who could give the big guy a hard time..."; as a female professional poker player!), Walter Brennan ("Old Stumpy... no teeth... one leg... but all the rest was guts..."; Brennan really stole the show in this movie!), Ward Bond ("Wheeler... a chunk of solid granite now crumbling with age..."), John Russell (billed as "John 'Lawman' Russell"; "Burdette... he was the knife poised at the throat of Rio Bravo..."), Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez, and Estelita Rodriguez. Note that many people consider this to be virtually a "perfect" western, and it is surely one of the best John Wayne movies there is! Also note that in 1967, Howard Hawks and John Wayne virtually remade this movie as "El Dorado", with Robert Mitchum and James Caan replacing Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson, but that movie pales in comparison to this one.

Most insert posters were folded twice horizontally right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most inserts, especially from before 1970! Condition: good.
