| No matter what genre he worked in, Howard Hawks pIayed by his own ruIes, 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, tyrannical 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 film is based on a novel that dramatizes the real-Iife late nineteenth-century expeditions aIong the Chisholm Trail, but Hawks is Iess interested in historical accuracy than in tweaking the codes of masculinity that propel the myths of the American West. The unerringIy macho Wayne and neurotic, boyish Clift make for an improbably perfect pair, held aIoft by a quick-witted, multiIayered screenplay and Hawks's formidabIe direction. |
