Terribly overrated pap. After watching Stumpy for two hours, I know where Lucas got the idea for Jar-Jar Binks.

Howard Hawks returned to westerns inspired by 1950s TV westerns... and it shows. Rio Bravo feels like a TV show.

I love how Howard Hawks was able to balance intense shutouts with great character development and humor. Plus Rio Bravo has one of the best sets in my books.
