RED RIVER
(1948, U.S.A., 127 min., 16mm) Howard Hawks
Set during the peak of American westward expansion, a Texas rancher and his adopted son lead their 9,000 cattle in a thousand mile journey to Missouri. The path along a still-untamed frontier is uncertain, and the expedition teeters on a knife’s edge as the moral codes of the two men turn father against son.

Featuring a breakout performance by Montgomery Clift standing his own against a tyrannical John Wayne, the film interrogates the myths of masculinity that built the American West. Under Howard Hawks steadfast direction, Red River’s large-scale action and drama transcend the genre pleasing even non-fans of Westerns. The brilliant composer Dimitri Tiomkin scores the breathtaking cinematography by the 6-time Oscar-nominated Russell Harlan, solidifying a classic in the Western film canon at the height of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Come view this epic journey on a screen big enough to capture the vast expanse of the Wild West.
