This John Wayne Western Classic With 96% on Rotten Tomatoes Remains His Best Collaboration With Angie Dickinson

No Western star commands the screen like John Wayne, with his unmatched presence and unparalleled charisma. Sure, there are other great Western heroes out there, but there's something about the Duke that just screams "classic." But of all the leading ladies to be paired with Wayne, one stands out as having worked with the Hollywood heavy on three separate pictures. No, we're not talking about Maureen O'Hara (whose chemistry with Wayne was simply iconic), but rather Angie Dickinson, his on-screen partner in I Married a Woman, Cast a Giant Shadow, and the Western powerhouse Rio Bravo. Not only was Rio Bravo the best Wayne and Dickinson collaboration by far, but it's a phenomenal horse opera that stands tall against the test of time.
