Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In 1952, Fred Zinneman directed High Noon, an excellent Western that snagged a number of Oscars — but numerous awards didn't keep Western legends John Wayne and Howard Hawks from thinking the idea of a sheriff running around town and begging people to help him face a couple of outlaws looked awfully un-American unprofessional. (As Hawks explained to the French magazine Cahiers du Cinéma, he didn't like the idea, especially since High Noon's sheriff eventually proved a little luck — and some help from his bride — made him perfectly capable of doing his job alone.) So in 1959, the duo made Rio Bravo.Hawks and his collaborators (the screenplay was written by Jules Furthman and Leigh Brackett) switched the story of High Noon to a professional's point of view: if people offered John Wayne their help, he would reply, "If they're really good, I'll take them. If not, they'll only cause me more trouble." Hawks' idea saw Wayne's sheriff take the opposite route of High Noon's sheriff in every critical decision and position from High Noon while remaining successful in his task.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })John T. Chance works as the sheriff of a small Texas town, but he's not as fast as he used to be with a six shooter (he prefers the trademark John Wayne Winchester '92 instead) — and to add to his problems, the brother of the local rancher who pretty much runs the town sits in his jail. The rancher sends plenty of hired guns to get his brother out of jail, and the only people Chance can count on for help include his old, crippled deputy, Stumpy and a washed-up drunk called Dude (or Borrachón, Spanish for ''drunkard", by the Mexicans). Along the way, Chance also receives help from a youngster named Colorado Ryan — but will his help be enough to help the other three men deal with the hired guns until the Marshal arrives to handle the rancher's brother?On record as being one of the all-time favorite films of Quentin Tarantinonote who famously promoted it it as his date movie of choice.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })John Carpenter remade this film in 1976 as Assault on Precinct 13 by placing the story into a contemporary setting. (Precinct 13 ended up being remade in 2005.) | |

Source Music | |
| Rio Bravo / int_1ebbebc5 | comment |
Source Music: While High Noon uses "Do Not Forsake Me" heavily during voice-overs, here the characters themselves provide the "significant" music. Burdette asks the saloon band to play "Deguello" non-stop to unnerve the holed-up lawmen, and both Colorado and Dude (played by professional singers) sing to pass the time. Dimitri Tiomkin scored both High Noon and Rio Bravo, for the record. | |

Prisoner Exchange: Dude gets captured and the villains will release him in exchange for Joe Burdette. Unusually for this trope, we never get any indication of whether or not the villains intend to play fair, as it's the heroes that play dirty and go in with every intention of leaving with both prisoners. | |

Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Chance and Feathers, played by the 6'4" John Wayne and 5'5" Angie Dickinson, respectively. The sets were famously all built on a 7/8 scale to make the actors look larger than life. Next to Wayne, Dickinson looks like she was built on a 7/8 scale. | |

Affably Evil: Nathan Burdette. For his one extended scene in the movie, he's polite and courteous the entire time. He even compliments Dude on his newfound sobriety and confidence ("Every man should have a taste of power before he's through."). Doesn't stop him from trying to bust his brother out of jail and plotting to kill Sherrif Chance and anyone who so much as offers to help Chance. | |

Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: Inverted. This is a lengthy (nearly two and a half hours long) film that's mostly dialogue with only a few action scenes. So when the action does come, it has all shocking suddeness of a slap in the face. Even so, there's still one Quiet Drama Scene that stands out from all the others in most viewers' memories: the moment in the jailhouse where Dude, Colorado, and Stumpy are relaxing, singing songs to pass the time, illustrating the camaraderie that's grown up between them. | |

Sexy Discretion Shot: Feathers invites Chance to stay in her room as the Big Bad's mooks won't think to look there. She claims that she can sleep in the rocking chair. Later Chance is shown picking her up out of the chair where she has been standing watch and carrying her up the stairs to the rooms. The scene ends and we pick up the next morning with Chance walking down the street and giving a cheery hello to Dude. Later Chance and Feathers have a conversation where both say they are not sorry about what happened the night before. | |

Young Gun | |
| Rio Bravo / int_b2c508ed | comment |
Young Gun: Colorado Ryan. A slight subversion in that Chance says about him: "It's nice to see a smart kid for a change." and Stumpy agrees. "Yeah, he's not like the usual kid with a gun." | |

Of Corsets Sexy: Much of what Feathers wears is corseted, and she looks very good in them. | |

Even so, there's still one Quiet Drama Scene that stands out from all the others in most viewers' memories: the moment in the jailhouse where Dude, Colorado, and Stumpy are relaxing, singing songs to pass the time, illustrating the camaraderie that's grown up between them. | |

Pride | |
| Rio Bravo / int_c39846a3 | comment |
Pride: Chance's most positive and negative quality. He's confident in his abilities, but too proud to admit that he actually needs help from his deputies and his allies. | |

Spiritual Antithesis | |
| Rio Bravo / int_ce2969d8 | comment |
Spiritual Antithesis/Take That!: To High Noon, which Howard Hawks and John Wayne were both highly critical of. Specifically, the scene where Chance explains to Wheeler exactly why he doesn't go out asking any civilians for help: numbers or no, if they aren't professionals, they're more apt to end up as just more targets. In a more subtle jab, Chance's key crew consists of a drunkard and an old cripple—basically, two fellows who have nothing to lose and are motivated by their loyalty to him. Guess who Gary Cooper turns away in High Noon... | |

Fake Shemp: Ward Bond's death scene was filmed from a distance because it was actually a double. Bond had already left the set to be back on location for Wagon Train. | |

Come to Gawk | |
| Rio Bravo / int_dde7da12 | comment |
Come to Gawk: At the beginning of the film Dude is reduced to begging to pay for his drinking. Then comes the painful moment when one of the saloon's patrons throws a coin for him - into a half-full spittoon! Luckily Chance intervenes before Dude actually picks it out. And of course there will be payback later. Throughout the movie, the townsfolk loiter outside whenever they think the big confrontation between Burdette's hitmen and the sheriff is about to happen. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
| Rio Bravo / int_faece9aa | comment |
The Power of Friendship: Becomes especially evident as Chance keeps rolling cigarettes for Dude. This evolved during shooting, when Dean Martin asked how come in some scenes Dude was supposed to be fumble-fingered, yet in others he is shown rolling cigarettes. | |
