Rio Lobo Movie Clip - I came looking for her, she's wanted
‘Rio Lobo’ (1970) marks the final film from legendary director Howard Hawks, known for classics like ‘Scarface’, ‘The Big Sleep’, and ‘Only Angels Have Wings’. Starring Hollywood icon John Wayne as Union Colonel Cord McNally, ‘Rio Lobo’ is a traditional Western that tells a gripping tale of betrayal, revenge, and justice in post-Civil War Texas. When McNally's friend is killed in a Confederate raid, he suspects treachery from within his own ranks, leading him on a mission that pits him against a corrupt sheriff and a ruthless landowner in the lawless town of Rio Lobo. Released during a time when Spaghetti Westerns and Revisionist Westerns were redefining the genre, ‘Rio Lobo’ stands as a defiant tribute to classic Western values, now honoured as part of the Masters of Cinema series.
