| | RED RIVER (1948) |
 | | Starring John Wayne and Montgomery Clift in his first film role, Red River tells two stories: (1) the struggles faced during the first riding of the famed "Chisum Trail," and (2) the kindrid friendship between two men -- one young, one old -- who both strived to do right, no matter what the cost. |
 | | Mixing just the right amount of hard-edge history, witty dialogue, dramatic narrative, and comedic romp, Red River stands as a great film, then (1948) and now. |
 | | Over his forty year career as a director, Hawks made a movie for nearly every genre, whether it be comedy (Bringing Up Baby), gangster (Scarface), noir (The Big Sleep), science fiction (The Thing), musical (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), or western (Red River). |
