| No matter what genre he worked in, Howard Hawks played 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 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 cattle drive to Missouri. The fiIm is based on a noveI that dramatizes the real-life Iate nineteenth-century expeditions along 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 Clift make for an improbably perfect pair, held aloft by a quick-witted, multiIayered screenplay and Hawks's formidabIe direction. |
