Bend of the River (1952): James Stewart and Julia Adams


     Directed by Anthony Mann, Bend of the River (1952) was his second Western collaboration with actor James Stewart. The story concerns a tough cowboy who escorts a confiscated shipment of supplies to settlers in need in 19th Century Oregon. The scenery and cinematography are breathtaking. James Stewart is great in the lead role. Julie Adams (billed as Julia) is beautiful in her role, her lovely visage on fine display. The rest of the cast is good as well, including Rock Hudson and Arthur Kennedy.
