Red River (1948 film)

Red River is a 1948 Western film directed and produced by Howard Hawks and starring John Wayne and Montgomery Clift, giving a fictional account of the first cattle drive from Texas to Kansas along the Chisholm Trail. The dramatic tension stems from a growing feud over the management of the drive, between the Texas rancher who initiated it (Wayne) and his adopted adult son (Clift).

The film's supporting cast features Walter Brennan, Joanne Dru, Coleen Gray, Harry Carey, John Ireland, Hank Worden, Noah Beery, Jr., Harry Carey, Jr. and Paul Fix. Borden Chase and Charles Schnee wrote the screenplay, based on Chase's original story (which was first serialized in The Saturday Evening Post in 1946 as "Blazing Guns on the Chisholm Trail").

In 1990, Red River was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

Plot

Thomas Dunson (John Wayne) is a stubborn man who wants nothing more than to start up a successful cattle ranch in Texas. Shortly after he begins his journey to Texas with his trail hand Nadine Groot (Walter Brennan), Dunson learns that his love interest (Coleen Gray), whom he had told to stay behind with the wagon train with the understanding that he would send for her later, was killed in an Indian attack. Despite this tragedy, Dunson and Groot press on. That night, Dunson and Groot, keeping watch, hear a group of Indians planning to attack them. They kill the Indians, and on the wrist of one, Dunson finds a bracelet he had been left by his late mother. One day before, he had presented it to his young love as he left the wagon train. The bracelet reappears significantly later in the film.

Red River

by: Deuteronomium

Bad boy, bad boy
Wanting some attention
Looking for some action
Can't get no satisfaction
I am, bad boy
Searching for my place
Falling on my face
Crying out for grace
Take me down
Take me down to Red River
Oh, I need to start again
Take me down
Take me down
Wash me clean in Red River
Cover me in Crimson
I need Red River
I know, I know
I've made a big mistake
Don't deserve no break
His love will never shake
I cry, you cry
Cry out for salvation
Hear this revelation
Ain't no condemnation
Take me down
Take me down to Red River
Oh, I need to start again
Take me down
Take me down
Wash me clean in Red River
Cover me in Crimson
I need Red River
Dripping from that tree
Flowing down Skull Mountain
Into that bloody sea
Cover you
Red River, cover me
Take me down
Take me down to Red River
Oh, I need to start again
Take me down
Take me down
Wash me clean in Red River
Cover me in Crimson
I need Red River
Take me down
Take me down to Red River
