Review of Bend of the River (1952) by Bill T — 03 Oct 2010
Sort of a pedestran western if you ask me. The only thngs to spruce it up s the addition of James Stewart and a very young Rock Hudson (spurting off unintentionally gay dialogue that noone else can) in the cast.
A group of settlers go up north to Try For A New Life. The problem is, the supplies they need for the winter have been mysterioiusly delayed. When Stewart and company go down there, they find the supplies are withheld by corrupt politicians! Stewart must fight tooth and nail to get these supplies back to where they belong.
As I said. this is nothing original, but it's entertaining because of Jimmy Stewart, (and ok, Stepin Fetchit is always a strange sight to see in American movies) and there's some entertaining moments with the Antagonists (they keep dying), so maybe it's worth seeing if you do stumble across it.
