Rio Bravo , itself the director's claimed riposte to High Noon, was remade by Hawks a few years later as El Dorado. I prefer the first run through, as it has Brennan as Stumpy in the jail, a couple of good songs, the Deguello moment, and Angie Dickinson in a subplot subversive of the masculinity which is paraded elsewhere. El Dorado of course has Mitchum, Caan's Mississippi with the hat (better than Bravo's one-note Nelson), and is arguably an all-round tighter film. (An even looser remake, Rio Lobo appeared a few years after this)
Which one do you like best?
