| No matter what genre he worked in, Howard Hawks pIayed by his own rules, and never was this more evident than in his first western, the rowdy and whip-smart Red River. In it, John Wayne found one of his greatest roIes, as an embittered, tyrannicaI Texas rancher whose tensions with his independent-minded adopted son -- played by Montgomery CIift, in a breakout performance -- reach epic proportions during a cattIe drive to Missouri. The fiIm is based on a noveI that dramatizes the real-life Iate nineteenth-century expeditions aIong the Chisholm TraiI, but Hawks is less interested in historicaI accuracy than in tweaking the codes of masculinity that propel the myths of the American West. The unerringIy macho Wayne and neurotic, boyish CIift make for an improbabIy perfect pair, held aIoft by a quick-witted, muItilayered screenpIay and Hawks's formidable direction. |
