DVD Reviews of Red River
DVD Review: WELL-TOLD TALE OF EXCITING CATTLE DRIVE
Summary: 5 Stars
"Red River" ranks with any western John Ford ever directed and it has John Wayne. Wayne turns in one of his best performances as a man who ages but remains tough and true to himself. The underrated Joanne Dru shows again that she was ahead of her time, portraying a physically and emotionally strong woman who bows to no man. Walter Brennan, a 3-time Oscar winner, gives another memorable turn as Wayne's long-time friend and conscience. The photography is stunning, as are the action scenes. Not to be missed.DVD Review: Dmitri Tiomkin composed the music to Rawhide as well
Summary: 4 Stars
The theme song of Rawhide - Seasons 1-3 went through my head while watching this movie.
I had just watched Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
which also shares the composer Dmitri Tiomkin.
This one one of the first roles for Montgomery Clift
and with John Wayne the acting is first rate for a western.
The long cattle drive is where the cowboy of the west made history.
The freedom of the open range and the six gun made a new sort of
culture that this western celebrates.

the majority of the dvd's I purchase are old, and the actors /actresses
are no longer around, but I would recomend buying this dvd just for that
reason.
DVD Review: Any Who Says John Wayne Couldn't Act Is An Idiot
Summary: 5 Stars
An epic masterpiece filled with some of the greatest character actors of all time..Like Charlton Heston, John Wayne was cheated out of many honors because of his poltics...
Any who sees The Quiet Man, True Grit,Sands of Iwo Jima, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, The Long Voyage Home, The Shootest and naturally The Searchers must recognize that the Duke was much more than a movie star but a fantastic actor who could create unique characters..(granted, there was no way he could have portrayed a weakling anymore than Tracy or Gable could..it just wasn't in their natures..)
Like Maureen O'Hara, Joanne Dru was a strong enough actress to go line for line with the Duke....and of course the ole scene stealer Walter Brennan stands out AGAIN!..
The film is like a beautiful symphony with each character adding a beautiful note....filled with memorable minor characters, one cannot take their eyes off the screen...A gift for the ages...
Description of Red River
One of the finest westerns ever made, this "monumental, sweeping and powerful" masterpiece (Variety) features impassioned performances, stunning cinematography and adventure on a grand scale. Starring John Wayne, Montgomery Clift (in his screen debut), Walter Brennan, Harry Carey, Sr. and Noah Beery, Jr., Red River is a hard-hitting, action-packed adventure that captures the grandeur, majestyand dangerof the wild American West.Wayne gives "one of the best performances of his career" (Cinebooks) as Tom Dunson, a self-made cattle baron who'll do anything to protect his way of life. So when plummeting livestock values demand that he drive his herd through thetreacherous Chisholm Trail, Tom proves that he'll risk anything to reach his destination even his own sanity.Any short list of the all-time greatest Westerns is bound to include this 1948 Howard Hawks classic about an epic cattle drive. Red River features one of John Wayne's greatest performances. Like his Ethan Edwards in John Ford's 1956 masterpiece The Searchers, the Duke plays an isolated and unsympathetic man who is possessed by bitterness. Wayne is Texas rancher Tom Dunson, who adopts a young boy orphaned in an Indian massacre. That boy, Matthew Garth (played as an adult by Montgomery Clift in his screen debut), becomes Dunson's assistant and heir apparent--until Dunson's temper gets out of control during a long cattle drive and Matt intervenes to stop him. From that moment on, Dunson swears he will kill Matt. Red River has everything a great Western ought to have: a sweeping sense of history, spectacular landscapes, stampedes, gunfights, Indian attacks, and, of course, Walter Brennan as Dunson's crusty old cook and comic sidekick, Nadine Groot. As a special bonus, the film also features the legendary Harry Carey (upon whom Wayne would base some of his gestures in The Searchers) and his son Harry Carey Jr., who became a fixture in Ford and Hawks Westerns. Red River is essential for anyone who loves Westerns, or movies in general. This one's a real beaut. --Jim Emerson
