Rio Bravo

Here's John Wayne fixing Ricky Nelson's hat on the set of one of my all-time favorite movies, Rio Bravo (1959).

When I first saw this photo, I thought "Wayne's really cool in those Ray Bans." But the more I look at it, I think he's got some of those Esquivel/Buddy Holly frames. Even cooler.

Also, I noticed that even in his street clothes, he's wearing his belt buckle from Red River. Can you tell I've been looking at this way too much?

Thought I'd put my Friday/Zappa thing on hold and wallow in Rio Bravo for a while.
