RED RIVER (1948) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Howard Hawks, Arthur Rosson

Written by - Borden Chase, Charles Schnee

Starring - John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, Walter Brennan, Joanne Dru

" A cattle empire owner and his adoptive son undertake a massive cattle drive to avoid financial ruin; but the road is dangerous and even leads the two to obsession and rivalry. Another fine western by Howard Hawks, with the usual well balancing of action, drama and romance; John Wayne’s performance is a stand out as he plays one of his most complex characters and to top it off there is a lot of tension between him and Montgomery Clift."
