Review of Red River (1948) by Norm D — 23 Mar 2018
Mighty ripe, red tomatoes for what basically is a 2-hr Rawhide with John Wayne instead of Eric Fleming as Gil Favor - and Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates. Some interesting casting but ultimately it's formulaic with very weak roles for the 2 women.
Yes, Wayne was an uncharacteristic grump until at the end suddenly he's not - which is cinematically odd obligatory scripting. But it's worth a look if you've got the time. | ~ Norm de Guerre.
