U.S., 1954
Directed by Otto Preminger
Starring Marilyn Monroe, Robert Mitchum, Rory Calhoun
Approx. 91 min.
In Preminger’s only Western and his first CinemaScope picture, Robert Mitchum contends with gambler Rory Calhoun, son Tommy Rettig, rafting through rapids and sexually-charged adventures with Marilyn Monroe. “One of the first films to discover the potential of CinemaScope.” – Dave Kehr
Presented with support from The Robert Jolin Osborne Endowed Fund for American Classic Cinema of the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s
Reviews
“While Mitchum’s performance is excellent, the film holds most interest as an early appraisal of the Monroe enigma.”
– Time Out
“Monroe is at her most luminous as a saloon singer with a heart of gold.”
– Austin Chronicle
