Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Red River (1947) is one of Howard Hawks' near-perfect films. A sweeping, fast-moving Western, it's stunningly shot and stars John Wayne and Montgomery Clift in complex roles set off by typically fine ensemble acting. In her study, Suzanne Liandrat-Guigues explores the thematic complexity of "Red River" as well as its historical resonances and its place in film history. She focuses particular attention on the actors' contributions and on "Red River"'s relationship to other Hawks classics.

About the Author

Suzanne Liandrat-Guigues teaches Film History at the University of Paris VII-Denis Diderot.

This series is excellent with in-depth looks at many, truly classic movies. 'Red River' is a favorite and this book does it justice.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2003
The short review: Do not buy this book.
The long review: If you hope to find an analysis and some real inside information on this classic western, you will be severely disappointed. Not only does it lack the kind of critical thinking about what makes this a classic, but also it commits the most serious kind of error - it gets the facts wrong. Did Ms. Liandrat-Guigues watch the same movie I did? She states twice that Dunson "murdered" the Mexican gunman. I believe, even in France, that Dunson would have been allowed to shoot in self-defense. It is clear from watching the movie that the Mexican is shown drawing his pistol, then Dunson is shown drawing his pistol and killing him. Which gives rise to another clear factual error - She states that Dunson kills Cherry Valence. I believe if she had bothered to watch the movie, she would see that Dunson shoots Cherry, but that Valence is still looking at Dunson as he walks off.
There is no evidence of any real research for this "essay" as she calls it and certainly no interesting "inside" information. For an example of how a movie analysis should be written, I highly recommend the BFI Film Classic for Shane.
