    Here's a chance to see Robert Mitchum mumble away to Marilyn Monroe and show us what a great job two stars can do with a creaking script and poor dialogue. This is an “event” movie, in that we do not really believe in Mitchum and Monroe cast adrift in the glorious scenery of the Canadian Rockies, but we heartily enjoy seeing them do it. In his only western, Otto Preminger directs with enough sense to let the actors shine within the confines of a far-fetched adventure tale. It's good entertainment as long as you suspend your critical faculties and let the sight of starry charisma suffice.

    Cheerful, clichéd star Western designed to exploit the splendours of early Cinemascope, and very adequate for this purpose.

    River of No Return

    This is an excellend 'oldie' - especially suited for the older generation and those who have loved Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum in their youth. Well worth watching.
