Centenary of John Wayne's birth celebrated

It’s the centenary of John Wayne’s birth, and among the many titles launched to mark the occasion is Rio Bravo Special Edition (Warner, 24.99) a classic Howard Hawks western, with Wayne playing Sheriff Chance, who is determined to hold a prisoner against a gang of desperadoes.

On his side are drunkard Dean Martin and the ancient Walter Brennan, a gung-ho youngster (Ricky Nelson) and Angie Dickinson.
