DIRECTOR'S CHOICE: HOWARD HAWKS | RIO BRAVO

DEC 16 | 6PM PRE-SHOW | 7PM FILM

With Rio Bravo, Howard Hawks redefined the Western genre, blending suspense, camaraderie, and subtle humor into a story that’s more about character than confrontation. John Wayne stars as Sheriff John T. Chance, joined by a cast of unforgettable misfits, including Dean Martin as the troubled “Dude” and Angie Dickinson as the quick-witted “Feathers.” Hawks focuses on their loyalty, resilience, and friendship in the face of danger, creating a Western that’s as much about heart as it is about heroism.

Experience Rio Bravo in its full cinematic glory on the Big Screen at the Historic Camelot Theatre! Join us at 6 pm for a pre-show of vintage trailers, Western ephemera, and gems from 1959, before settling in for the 7 pm screening. Don’t miss this chance to dive into one of Hawks’ most celebrated films with all the depth and beauty it deserves!
