One of the best westerns ever, and after the Seachers John Wayne's best performance. He sure can play it mean. A Western adaptation of Muntiny On The Bounty, which makes for a ripping drama. Favourite quote: "There are only two things more beautiful than a good gun -- a Swiss watch and a woman from anywhere. Have you ever had a good Swiss watch?" What could he possibly mean...?

Howard Hawks' attempt at a John Ford western. Thing is he does a better job of making a John Ford western than John Ford ever did, with the possible exception of The Searchers. My favorite movie of all time. Monty and Duke are beautiful together. Grade: A

Howard Hawks and Arthur Rosson's adaptation of Borden Chase's tale of cattle driving across America at first glance (in other words the first twenty minutes or so) seems almost like it won't have much to it, except to glorify the old Cowboys and Indians approach to a western, and to have the lead as a one sided viewpoint over the story. But what soon becomes clear about Red River is that the supporting characters (such as Montgomery Clift as Wayne's son, Walter Brennan as one of the fellow Cattle drivers, Joanne Dru as the lady of the bunch, and Harry Carey as a cattle buyer) bring out a greater sense of humanity to the film, and there are scenes captured by Hawks and his cameraman Russell Harlan that are, for lack of a better word, glorious. Whatever minor flaws come up from the characters is made up by the storytelling qualities of the final product. I'd have to see it again (it was months ago I first viewed it) to know for certain if it's one of the all time best westerns- as some might say- yet from what I saw it is an impressively executed tale.

Best Western ever and best depiction of the "old vs. new" ways of cattle transport ever put on film. This features Montgomery Clift's best performance as well.

I think it's amazing how they were able to get so mach cattle in the movie. Watching this movie, you get a sense of what it was really like back in those days. Sometimes they can glamorize westerns, but this one is special. Seeing how it took them days just to cover a couple hundred miles is insane and especially having to maneuver and care for all the cattle. Great film this one. There were some unexpected turns that took place that I wasn't expecting. It was very well written and acted. Overall, wonderful Western flick that played by it's own rules. A delight to watch.
