Review of Red River (1948) by Steve G — 01 Sep 2012
A classic Western. Epic in its plot and canvas. Great direction by Howard Hawks. Takes a while to get going but once it does it moves along briskly. Good action mixed with convincing human drama.
John Wayne gets top-billing but Montgomery Clift steals the show. Great performance by Clift. Wayne puts on his usual swaggering performance, but here seems less one-dimensional than usual. Good supporting cast.
