About this product

Product Information

RED RIVER, Howard Hawks's masterpiece, is one of the greatest Westerns ever filmed, a saga of obsession and rivalry between a man and his adoptive son amid an epic struggle for survival in the Old West. Tom Dunson (John Wayne) journeys west to Texas to build a cattle empire and adopts Matthew Garth, a young boy orphaned by an Indian raid. Years later, Matthew (Montgomery Clift) returns from the Civil War and joins Dunson on a massive cattle drive north undertaken to avoid financial ruin. Stampedes and Indian attacks build tension, but it is Dunson's ironfisted leadership that causes the most problems, finally bringing the action to a boiling point that pits father against son. This bold canvas of the American frontier features stirring performances, including Clift in his first film and Wayne in one of his finest and most complex roles, stunning photography shot on location in Arizona, and a perfect balance of action, drama, romance, and comedy from one of Hollywood's greatest directors.

    “Take ‘Em To Missouri, Matt.”

    Red River (1948) Classic western masterpiece filmed brilliantly by director Howard Hawks. Texas cattle ranchers in need of money after the Civil War conduct the first cattle drive from Texas to Kansas using the Chisholm Trail. Based on a story by writer Borden Chase. Strong performances by actors John Wayne as Thomas Dunson, and Montgomery Cliff as Matt Garth. Film is replete with numerous classic scenes on the trail, photographed in stunning black and white by cinematographer Russell Harlan. Highly entertaining storyline centering around the complex relationship of Dunson and Garth as they bump heads in leading the drive north. Actor Walter Brennan steals the show as Dunson’s sidekick and cook, Nadine Groot. Lessons to be learned about standing up for what is right and moral. Brilliant soundtrack music composed by Dimitri Tiomkin. “Take ‘em to Missouri, Matt.” Grade A+

  • John Wayne a great actor!

    This is the Duke at his best! A different role for him. Showing his versatility by going from the young good natured, hard working man to the rough, driven, and cruel older one. The ending is a bit wonky but because I love JW and the rest of the film is so good I give it a pass! Worth the watch!

  • Best movie of Wayne himself.

    I've seen this movie when I was a younger. But still I think its the best movie of John Wayne. Because thee acting in this movie is really great. The close ups are great and action are stupendous. The way John walks hos way through the cattle before he strikes a blow to the face of the other cowboy. And tords thee end he John writes on the ground what he wants on the branding Iron, and says: you've earned it. That really gets me.

  • Oldie but Goodie. A story of loyalty, love and grit.

    One of the oldies but goodies. A great western suitable for the entire family with great actors (John Wayne, Walter Brennan and Montgomery Clift). The story is engaging with a hard move west followed by an even tougher cattle drive years later. A story of loyalty, love and grit.
