RIVER OF NO RETURN (1954) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Otto Preminger
Robert Mitchum, Marilyn Monroe,
Rory Calhoun, Tommy Rettig
When Rory Calhoun steals Robert Mitchum's horse, Mitchum and Monroe take off in pursuit, riding a log raft down a white-water river. Monroe's voluptuous, Calhoun's villainous, Mitchum's rugged, and the back-projected forests, mountains and rivers of Alberta look almost as good as Monroe. It's not what you'd call frontier realism, but who cares?
