Friday Night at the Movies: Rio Bravo

We continue with our look at genres with a classic Western, Rio Bravo, which debuted in 1959. The film is a beloved John Wayne western and features many well-known Hollywood stars of the era, including Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Ward Bond, Angie Dickinson, Walter Brennan….you get the “picture.”! Well-known director Howard Hawks, whose work spanned genres from silent films to screwball comedies, teamed up with John Wayne in several Westerns, but none were better known than Rio Bravo. Does the sheriff prevail over the bad guys or do they win out?

Peg Schultz will lead our post-film discussion.

Enjoy popcorn and soft drinks during the movie but save room for coffee and dessert afterward, all for a suggested donation of $2.

Sign up starting April 1 in the church office.
