     Rio Lobo
1970  G  WESTERN  1h 54min
CAST— John Wayne, Jorge Rivero, Jennifer O’Neill, Jack Elam, Chris Mitchum, Mike Henry, Susana Dosamantes, Victor French, Sherry Lansing, Bill Williams, David Huddleston, Jim Davis, Robert Donner
MUSIC— Jerry Goldsmith  DIRECTOR— Howard Hawks

     Average Western starring the ever heroic John Wayne as an ex-Army officer who forms a partnership with two ex-jailbirds to rid the town of Rio Lobo of its sleazy element. They team with a former medicine show girl with a bone to pick with some of the crooked lawmen of the town. These partners subsequently join others… and so on and so on. Straight forward and to the point, kept afloat by Wayne and witty banter of Jack Elam. Final note: though rated G be warned that violence and language abound.
OUR RATING— ** ½
