Red River 1948 Internet Archive Review

Based on Borden Chase's Saturday Evening Post story "The Chisholm Trail," Red River chronicles the first cattle drive from Texas to Missouri along the famous trail. The narrative centers on Thomas Dunson (John Wayne), a tyrannical cattle baron, and his loyal, adopted son, Matt Garth (Montgomery Clift). As the grueling journey progresses, Dunson’s megalomania drives a wedge between him and the crew, leading to a mutiny where Matt takes control of the herd. This sets up a tense, climactic confrontation between father and son.
