Five Came Back (1939)

Survivors of a jungle plane crash realize that their repaired airplane can only carry five passengers.

Dir: John Farrow Cast:  Chester Morris , Lucille Ball , Wendy Barrie .
75 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: John Farrow. Chester Morris, Lucille Ball, Wendy Barrie, John Carradine, Allen Jenkins, Joseph Calleia, C. Aubrey Smith, Patric Knowles. This sleeper shows its age a bit, but remains interesting for colorful character studies among passengers on plane downed in headhunter-infested Amazon jungle. Remade by Farrow as BACK FROM ETERNITY.

Rio Bravo (1959)

A sheriff enlists a drunk, a kid and an old man to help him fight off a ruthless cattle baron.

Dir: Howard Hawks Cast:  John Wayne , Dean Martin , Ricky Nelson .
C- 141 min, TV-14 , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Howard Hawks. John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson, Walter Brennan, Ward Bond, John Russell, Claude Akins, Bob Steele. Sheriff Wayne tries to prevent a killer with connections from escaping from the town jail, with only a drunken Dino, leggy Angie, gimpy Brennan, and lockjawed Ricky to help him. Quintessential Hawks Western, patronized by reviewers at the time of its release, is now regarded as an American classic; overlong, but great fun. Written by Leigh Brackett and Jules Furthman. Followed by EL DORADO; sort of remade as ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13.

D: Victor Saville. Walter Pidgeon, Deborah Kerr, Angela Lansbury, Binnie Barnes, Janet Leigh, Dame May Whitty, Reginald Owen.
