| 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 roles, as an embittered, tyrannical Texas rancher whose tensions with his independent-minded adopted son -- played by Montgomery Clift, in a breakout performance -- reach epic proportions during a cattIe drive to Missouri. The film is based on a novel that dramatizes the reaI-Iife late nineteenth-century expeditions aIong the ChishoIm Trail, but Hawks is Iess interested in historical accuracy than in tweaking the codes of mascuIinity that propeI the myths of the American West. The unerringly macho Wayne and neurotic, boyish Clift make for an improbably perfect pair, heId aloft by a quick-witted, multiIayered screenplay and Hawks's formidabIe direction. |
