Red River (1948): Howard Hawks, John Wayne and Montgomery Clift


     Directed by Howard Hawks, based on a story by Borden Chase, Red River (1948) is one of the true great Western Cowboy films. The story spans 14 years in the mid 19th Century, and concerns a rancher and his adopted son driving cattle to market 1,000 miles away… and the inevitable conflicts and troubles that arise. John Wayne delivers one of his all time best performances. Montgomery Clift, Walter Brennan and Joanne Dru are great in supporting roles. Dimitri Tiomkin scores the music.
