Just finished watching Rio Bravo on TMC and...

What scenes did Harry Carey Jr get cut out of? I see his name on the opening credits and one story I have heard that he upset Howard Hawkes so bad that his scene(s) ended up on the cutting room floor. I can't figure out what part he played in the movie as it appears none the worse for his absence. Thanks.

I missed Rio Bravo this afternoon, but, Monte Walsh was on right after, one of my favorite westerns.

The one with Lee Marvin or the one with Tom Selleck? One rare time I like both versions.

Harry Carey Jr played a townsman. He had a drinking problem at the time and called Hawks "Howard" instead of Mr. Hawks like the other actors did. Hawks honored Carey's contract, payed him and gave him billing, but cut his scenes.

The only thing I don't like about Rio Bravo is the way .Duke sweeps everyone repeatedly with his rifle. Man, if I got that close to Angie Dickenson I would be more careful!!

Nobody sits a horse like Monte Walsh !

Just watched that last week. Hard to beat any of the Tom Selleck or Sam Elliott westerns.

There has always been a rumor that Carey played the man who Dean Martin (Dude) chased into the bar after the killing of Ward Bond (Wheeler) and ended up shooting out of the rafters in the bar. It's one of my favorites scenes of all westerns.
