Fourteen years after starting his cattle ranch in Texas, Tom Dunston is finally ready to drive his 10,000 head of cattle to market. Back then Dunston, his sidekick Nadine Groot and a teen-aged boy, Matt Garth -who was the only survivor of an Indian attack on a wagon train - started off with only two head of cattle. The nearest market however is in Missouri, a 1000 miles away. Dunston is a hard task master demanding a great deal from the men who have signed up for the drive. Matt is a grown man now and fought in the Civil War. He has his own mind as well and he soon runs up against the stubborn Dunston who won't listen to advice from anyone. Soon, the men on the drive are taking sides and Matt ends up in charge with Dunston vowing to kill him.
Leave your thoughts about Red River.
| The DissolveKeith PhippsHawks directs the film with his typical assurance and seeming lack of fuss, letting scenes play out in long takes, and framing the action against vistas that often dwarf the actors. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIn Red River, the destination of life’s long cattle drive is never more specific than “somewheres.” The lines marked on the map are just stops along the way. |
| TIME MagazineJames AgeeIt is a rattling good outdoor adventure movie. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Annie WagnerThe best westerns always undercut their own myths, and few are more gorgeously conflicted than Red River. |
| Film InternationalMatthew SorrentoWayne is an offbeat presence in River. His longish hair and loose gait - the latter usually indicating a relaxed sense of power - now imply a man out of his place, and a kind of restlessness. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussIt was Hawks' genius to recognize a kinship between his leads, and to understand that the 'naturalism' of the Wayne persona was as deep and complex as the more intellectualized approach of the neurotic young New York stage actor, Clift. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonHawks never did anything self-consciously. You always realize how great his films are after you're through enjoying yourself. |
| EmpireKim NewmanBeautifully directed with a lovely visual lyricism, this film packs a western punch with perfect performances and a fine script. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullFilled with beautiful black and white photography, especially for its era, Red River is an atmospheric ride a la Unforgiven. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhat we remember with Red River is not, however, the silly ending, but the setup and the majestic central portions. The tragic rivalry is so well established that somehow it keeps its weight and dignity in our memories, even though the ending undercuts it. |
