Abstract
The American director Howard Hawks made Rio Bravo (1959) because he didn’t like another western, High Noon (Fred Zinnemann, 1952). This encouraged different authors to compare the two films focusing on their differences to try to determine which one is superior. We believe this is a wrong point of view that prevented them from seeing the similarities between the two motion pictures. In this article we deepen into some of these common characteristics following Professor David L.G. Arnold and we point at one which, in our opinion, is one of the most important: the masterful use that the two films made of nonverbal communication.
