One of my favorite westerns was released 65 years ago today.
This was posted by the official John Wayne Facebook page:
September 17, 1948 ~ "Red River" was released to theaters 65 years ago today. Dunson is driving his cattle to Red River when his adopted son, Matthew, turns against him. All the interior scenes were shot on 4 large sound stages at MGM in Hollywood. To add to the realism the film company imported 20 tons of sand and assorted mesquite from the location sites in Arizona. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards: Best Story and Best Editing.

Red River & The Big Lift are the only two Montgomery Clift films I have. He doesn't do his weepy, miserable wretch shtick in these.
