CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Dunson (John Wayne) and Matt (Montgomery Clift) finally face off and beat the hell out of each other, at least until Tess (Joanne Dru) steps in with a gun.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
John Wayne -- showing off a darker side to his screen persona than we'd previously seen -- portrays Thomas Dunson, a frontiersman who, with his longtime partner Nadine Groot (Walter Brennan), abandons a westbound wagon train in 1851 to make his future as a rancher in Texas. Doing so forces him to abandon Fen (Colleen Gray), his fiancee -- and when she is killed in an Indian raid a short time later, it taints any good that Dunson might find in the future he carves out for himself, destroying any joy he might derive from life. The sole survivor of the raid is Matthew Garth (Mickey Kuhn), a young orphan who is unusually handy with a gun for one his age -- and already knows how to channel his grief and horror at what he's seen, as much as Dunson does. Dunson informally adopts Matt as his son, and over the next 14 years he builds up one of the largest ranches in the entire state of Texas. And all of it is worth nothing, a result of the economic ruin wrought on the state in the aftermath of the Civil War. Matthew (Montgomery Clift), now back from the war and doing some of his own adventuring, finds a darker, more taciturn Dunson than he's ever known -- as Groot tells it, he's afraid because he just doesn't know how to fight the threats he now faces. With Matthew now returned, Dunson decides to move his herd, nearly 10,000 head of cattle, to Missouri, where there is a market for beef, over 1000 miles away through territory controlled by border gangs hundreds of men strong that have stopped every cattle drive up to now, and Indians who have picked off what the gangs missed. Dunson drives his men as hard as he does himself, relentlessly, till even some of his best hands break under the strain -- and he's not above killing anyone who challenges his authority on the drive. He's able to hold them in line as long as Matthew backs him up, and he does until Dunson, exhausted and worn down by lack of sleep, finally goes too far. Matthew steps in, backed by laconic, smirking gunman Cherry Valance (John Ireland) and most of the rest of the men and takes the herd from Dunson. Leaving his father and mentor behind, he heads the herd toward Kansas, where -- so the men are told -- there's a new railroad. Along the way, he meets Tess Millay (Joanne Dru), a card-dealer who falls in love with the young man. But he has to finish the drive and leaves her behind, much as Dunson left Fen. And they all know that Dunson is coming after Matthew to kill him.

![RED RIVER 1948 Cast Then and Now ⭐ [74 Years After]](/img/n.gif)
Hands down the best western movie ever made with brilliant performances by John Wayne and Montgomery Cliff!
Couldn’t agree more!
Certainly, one of them. My personal choice would be the Searchers.
One of the best westerns ever made! I can watch it over and over again...
3:08 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Agreed.
"You better marry that girl, Matt." That line never fails to get a chuckle out of me.
@MAnuscript421 - Same. xD
3:08 OMG THEIR FACES!!!
" you better murry that girl..." it sounds like!!
Even though it seems to “come out of nothing” in light of the prior hours’ amped-up animosity, Wayne is very sincere and moving in that last moment, the equal of Monty, almost as if the two actors had finally come to respect each other as much as their characters…
Lol at Cherry Valance bleeding out while the boys get a lecture from Tess
john ireland married joanne dru after this film
This is one of my favorite western movies, next to the Searchers. I loved Monty Cliff, he was such a good look en man. Great Actor too.
He knew Dunson wouldn't kill him. He loved him.
Exactly 💯
This is my favorite western. John Wayne died 40 years ago today. He still rains supreme in movies. His movies never get old and he was a good actor! Very good! I don't care that he was conservative or hawkish. He was fiercly patriotic and represented an american ideal of rugged indivualism that is sorely missing in movies and actors today. Thank you Duke for all the wonderful performances you left behind.
Conservative Political views John Wayne. 🤔🌁☀️
@@blueskye6372 Like I said! I don't care about his views. He was a good actor and a man of his time. I will not take him out of his time. I never heard of him burning crosses or hanging nooses in front of someone's house, or being party of a lynch party. He would have fought in WW2 if he had been aloud too. The Duke was alright!!!
This has got to be the best ending in a movie I have ever seen. John Wayne and Montgomery Clift are such talented actors.
My father made us watch the western channel only for 2 years straight. Love this movie
A great movie with John Wayne playing a character you can both relate to and yet be distributed by too in this film. It's got a great cast, an actual cattle drive, a young woman not afraid to give John Wayne a good tounge lashing, battles with Indians and superb cinematography, there's a real grit to the look of this film, it never looks to clean and polished.
In this corner, John Wayne! And in this corner...Montgomery Clift?!?
Bizarre ending to a fabulous movie. I would be willing to bet money that this wasn’t the original ending. Also very strange that the fate of Cherry is just glossed over while the main cast laughs.
You're right! It wasn't the original ending. Original ending had Wayne dying in a shootout with Cherry Valence
. The studios said "Noooooooo"
They bandaged Cherry Valance up after the movie ended.
Wayne and Clift. What a combo. Great actors and a film

Richard Bain I’ve watched a lot of his movies but never red river why does Matt and everyone else go against dunson in this movie?
@@bojankos8455 That's what I loved about the movie John Wayne's character, neither black or white but shades of grey, he was unfair and abusive to the boys on that cattle run, when you put a cat in a corner he'll have that back and fight you back.
The ending betrayed the entire movie. Wayne created a dark, extraordinary, larger than life character. Then he magically morphs into someone more akin to Mr Rogers as though they couldn't come up with anything better so they just said let's go with something syrupy and formulaic and get the heck out of here.
You don’t get it
@@GhostofCTC oh well that explanation certainly clears everything up./s
@@Unjust1 Dunson knew nothing about the sale when he went from ruthless Dunson to toothless Mr. Rodgers. He was going to KILL Matt! But somehow the girl firing the gun magically transforms him into a cream puff. Nope. Extraordinary movie. Poor ending.
@@Unjust1 Thomas Dunson may be the most extraordinary movie character who no one has ever heard of. (except us nuts).
This is Hollywood, 1948. Guys got hit in the face numerous times and still kept going. If you've ever seen or been in a real fight, you know that doesn't happen. No, the makeup didn't reflect what a face would really look like if hit by a guy 6' 4" and 230 lbs. One punch like the one Wayne throws first would have done Clift in. Lighten up, guys; it's Hollywood back in the 40's. If you prefer the realism of today where a guy get his brains splattered all over a wall, then this may not be for you. But since I was born a year after this film was made and grew up watching old movies, I find the graphic depictions of violence today a bit disturbing and unwatchable. OK, so it wasn't real back then, but that's why I was watching it in the first place. And Red River, in my opinion, is the best Western movie ever made. I thought that when I first saw it in the 50's, and I haven't seen anything since to change my mind.
Have you seen The Wild Bunch? In my opinion that's the greatest western film of all time, but I do love Red River. I am 15 and my favorite genre is western. I own the Criterion release, it comes with a ton of special features including the original novel which was out of print. I'm a huge fan of Wayne and Eastwood and many other iconic western actors.
Scotty Bryant Shouldn't you be looking for Pokémon?
YEAH,THE WILD BUNCH!,SHANE 1953 WOULD BE NUMBER 2,LOVE RED RIVER AS ALWAYS.
elchoya100 Valdez Is Coming and The Tin Star.
There's nothing real about ridiculous contemporary films where women have 3x the upper body strength of an Olympic weightlifter or wrestler. Or where a lone shooter can destroy an infantry regiment. The classic films kept things to a feasible human scale, at least.
This was probably one of the worst endings I've ever seen to a great movie. Like wtf was this last scene?
Exactly
Yeah, I do think Matthew and Dunsan should have talked things out after the fight so them mending fences would be a little more believable.
"When are you going to stop tellin' people what to do?" John Wayne spent an entire career ordering people around.
Gawd make her stop!
"make a man out of you', he's already a man. a rather fine man if you ask me
While watching this movie I wondered if Joanne Dru's line, "You look like something the cat dragged in" would have been used when the movie was set in the 1860's. It turns out the phrase wasn't invented until much later.
My name is della maddalena stefano, i'm a duke fan from north italy .tall 6.2 i have a custom hat called dunson with silver hat band. One look like john wayne!
1:15,that part I never noticed it before ,but I saw it on my dvd of the movie. when I slow motioned this part you see a nick on his cheek from the shot from waynes pistol.monty held his own with john wayne.
remember folks never mess with a crazy broad armed with a gun
Ah, she is not completely responsible for how she comes across here. The dialogue, music, comic relief responses from Wayne & Cliff add to her eating the scenery antics, and the scene is pure treacle. Just my opinion. Subjective, as all opinions, and nothing more. 👌
Alas, the debate goes on about how Hawks ended the film with the scales continually tipping against him and accusing him of choking and dropping the ball. Matt, they say, should've killed Dunson but Hawks, they say, just couldn't bring himself to, as it were, pull the trigger.
In Borden Chase's original serial, Dunson is killed by Cherry Valance, not Matt, and taken back to be buried at the Red River D. Matt killing Dunson would've been absurd, pointless and not have brought about any resolution, plot advancement or fulfillment. When Dunson advances on Matt, blasting away at him in an attempt to get him to fight, Hawks' closeup on Matt as he smirks tells us that he knows Dunson is all blowhard and bluster and, as Tess avers, they really do love each other. He did not need to kill Dunson to win his independence and prove his equality, if not superiority. He did that when he stood up to him on the trail and took the herd away from him. The ending is perfect, the emotions are in the right place and so enjoy one of the greatest westerns in film history...as is.
Agreed, taking his herd away from him did make a man out of him. Dunson knows that. If you notice in the scene when Matt takes off with the herd I see a bit of respect if not pride in Wayne's face.
Hawks just wanted to have an ending with a surprise comedic twist in the person of Tess. She suddenly turns the grimness of the film completely over on its head.
Maybe you are right that he did not need to kill Dunston, but I could not disagree more that the ending was perfect. Maybe nobody needed to die, but a happy ending here was all wrong, particularly the hokey fashion in which it was done. I still think Red River is one of the greatest westerns ever, but I have to disagree with you and say the ending does not fit. For the record, I have no problem with happy endings, but I do have a problem with shoehorned hackneyed happy endings and this is one of the more egregious examples in my book. As a matter of fact, I would say, while this is a top ten Western for me, the ending is the only thing keeping it from being a top 5, maybe even top 3 for me.
@@aaronstark5060 The ending is hokey and spoils the film somewhat. Still, it is my favorite Wayne western, in part because he plays against type which he seldom did.
@@aaronstark5060 I totally agree with you.
As many times as I've seen this movie, I just noticed a couple of things I never had before. For one thing, Dunstan came to Abileen accompanied by several hired guns. What did he offer them for their services? I hope it wasn't full shares in the herd. Obviously Mat wasn't stealing the money from him, so he'll have it to pay them, nonetheless, things could get a little awkward if they get paid more than the ranch hands who made the drive, or just when they find out Mat and Dunstan made up and there won't be a fight.
Secondly, how badly was Cherry wounded? If he had drawn and fired instead of trying to talk Dunstan to death, he probably would have won the fight. It looked to me like he took one in the belly though. Even with a competent surgeon, that could easily be a mortal wound in those days. I'd hate to think of him dying that way.
Cherry knew the game he was playing. To him that’s what it was a game, a contest to see who was best. He knew the consequences of losing. He has admirable traits but he’s still a cold blooded killer himself. The way John Ireland played him was brilliant.
Wayne spins and fires his gun first (not very honorable for a character played by Wayne) but aims way off target most likely for safety reasons at the time. Ireland does seem to aim straight at Wayne. Ireland's, "Yeah, but I haven't any such notion" suggests the dialogue was thoughtfully refined. Were there strict aiming rules back then?
The whole film is a masterpiece until 2:20 exactly
Bring back duke ,i miss your movie!
Great movie and cast
Das waren noch Filme 👍😉
in the original written ending wayne dies from ireland gunshot and clift takes him back to the ranch and die there,this ending pissed off clift.
And me
I don't think a darker ending would suit the film at all- for all the hardships and conflicts endured throughout the journey, there's so many fun, friendly feel-good scenes/moments that wouldn't work as well on repeat viewings if the ending was grim. The camp scenes create such coziness in spite of all the travelling and the score is largely upbeat ("Settle Down" wouldn't give me nearly as much chills if the film didn't finish on a positive note).
Chemicalrory
I think that is all wrong. A dark ending would have been perfect and a happy ending did not fit at all. Still a great movie, but I do not think at all that a happy ending was the right one.
I’m mad I’m mad I tell ya 😡😂
I hated the End. Toms unjustified murders and thievery went un punished.
What murders and thievery?
'Red River' has the same problem as Hitchcock's 'Suspicion'. A star like Gary Grant, or John Wayne cannot be irredeemable, or be killed at the end. The only ending that makes any sense is Clift shooting Wayne in self-defense, or another ending without a direct confrontation. It's an exceptional western besides that problem.
Or, if we want a happy ending without being so.....goofy, play to the earlier comments about Matt being too "soft".
Have Dunson wear out after hitting Matt around trying to get him to draw. Dunson falls down (because.....like.....he's still BLEEDING PEOPLE!) and Matt gets up asking if he's done (beating him up, claiming he's going to kill him, being a tyrant, etc). Dunson can look angry for a moment, but then say he's done. Matt offers him his hand but he pushes it away and stands up slowly saying the line about adding the M to the brand, but just as he finishes saying it collapses from blood loss. Matt catches him as he falls and Tess (who honestly is a very.......meh character that should have had a better writer) helps get him inside. When Dunson wakes up his old friend is tending him and when he gets out of bed he finds Cherry also recovering. Cherry tells him that Matt took Tess to the town over to find a preacher, and that he'll be back this afternoon to help bring the men back to the ranch and left word for THEM BOTH to meet up with him.
Dunson is surly and quiet. Cherry asks if Dunson still thinks Matt is soft. Dunson replies "Don't you?". Cherry laughs and asks "Would I have taken a bullet for him if I did?" and walks off to go meet Matt. Dunson frowns till Cherry leaves, but then smiles and grabs his hat to go out and follow him to meet up with Matt.
Cause showing that Matt is strong in a kinder more democratic way that inspires the people around him is not a bad message to give young boys.
Your not really understanding the characters or the story if that’s your view.
Mr Dunson MR DUNSON I'LL SAY IT JUST ONE MORE TIME POW POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a replica hat called the dunson, with silver custom hat band.
Red River was a great film but Howard Hawks didn't know how to end it. Montgomery knocking the Duke on his ass. How absurd! They had to have the Duke get shot to make it seem fair. It is one of the most contrived scenes in film history, almost as silly as John Travolta kicking Scott Glenn's ass in Urban Cowboy.
+Derek Leaberry it was a great end, them clift and the duke both respected each other, even if they had different ways , they still very much liked eachother , and after that fight , you can feel they become closer then ever. thats how men are.even the Duke can get his ass kicked , cause wrong is wrong. btw i am just saying in the movie characters , im not sure how they treated eachother in real life
In real life Wayne was quoted in Life Magazine as saying, "Clift is an arrogant little bastard" so much for love and respect off screen.
Most contrived ? You can't name a movie since 1948 more contrived that Red River ?
Duke took Clift bear-hunting during production. Clift phoned a "friend" later on and told him that he'd been hunting with a fascist.
John wayne had a way of talking behind other actors backs off screen and to the press a lot.
if you were watching John Wayne's Best Lines! 🤠 and you came to this place to see this one yourself, this means it's a glitch in The Matrix, probably this is simulation universe we are in .
Joanne Dru was some kind of nice. 👌
my farm brand is red river d and m
Always felt this ending destroyed the whole movie. Downright ludicrous. They should have stayed with the orginal ending, would have been epic. Solid otherwise with great cast.
Yes especially when he shot and killed Cherry.
They just have a laughfest at the end.
Woman getting emotional out of nowhere, their friend gets murdered.
“You better marry that girl, Matt”
When are you gonna-heyyy! 😂🤣😂🤣🤣👍”
It didn’t ruin the movie for me but it was just such an absurd moment to go out on.
Great movie
It's my favorite western but I never liked this ending.
You better marry the girl! When are you stop telling people what to do? Right now!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
The annoying charcter of Tess Millay almost single-handedly destroys the latter quarter of this awesome western, they really should have kept her out.
What’s so annoying about her?
@@GhostofCTC How about: everything?^^
0:34. Did that guy die? The film ends without telling us.
I’ve always wanted to know that and how everyone is just laughing at the end. I know it’s just a movie but I like to think Cherrys character lived. Would kind of ruin it for me otherwise
why is he hitting him tho?
I love the film for Wayne's performance. I thought Montgomery Clift was miscast. I just don't buy him in the role. That big hat overwhelms him. Duke blew him off the screen in every scene they were in together.
lmao

Lector Doctor in a western movie.
I like this endin* as oppose to the TV movie with James arness ana Bruce boxleitner. Cause he told Matt he eRned it. Which is something all sons wNts to hear from their father.
Perhaps they should re-do "Red River" to make it more modern. George Takei in the Duke Wayne role, Neil Patrick Harris in the Montgomery Clift role and Jim Parsons in the Joanne Dru role. "You better marry that man."
😆
but didn't he just kill that dude?.. and acting all lovey dovey lol.
scenes weird.
Good movie overall thanks to a good supporting cast and most of all to the incomparable Montgomery Clift, the very definition of an ACTORS actor but John Waynes character was nothing To write home about because he was essentially playing the same character his entire career just with mild variations in the mix. Essentially playing himself. Clift actually had to act DOWN A bit from his usual artistic excellence just to make Wayne seem like he was a standout. And even then Monty made Wayne look like the one dimensional cliché he truly was.
nowhere near as good as Green River
nowhere as good as Yellow River. My friend Chang told me that.
Blue River over them all
I'll take Moon River.
Violet River is the best, though Purple River aint bad either.^^
