Brim-wise Todd Field‘s hat is obviously similar to the one worn by John Wayne in Rio Bravo (’59). But the thick hat band is pure urban noir, like the brown tough-guy hat worn by the 68-year-old Laurence Tierney in Norman Mailer‘s Tough Guys Don’t Dance (’87).
Wayne was 51 when he and Howard Hawks shot Rio Bravo in the summer of ’58; Field is currently somewhat older.
