As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

     River of No Return
1954  NR  WESTERN  1h 31min
CAST— Robert Mitchum, Marilyn Monroe, Rory Calhoun, Tommy Rettig, Murvyn Vye, Douglas Spencer
MUSIC— Cyril J. Mockridge  DIRECTOR— Otto Preminger

     The unlikely pair of Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe join forces in this wet and wild adventure. Slimey Rory Calhoun leaves Mitchum and son stranded just as murderous Indians raze their homestead. Mitchum has no choice but to commandeer Calhoun’s raft (not to mention his abandoned girlfriend Monroe) in order to escape. From there our adventurers go with the flow towards safety and revenge. A thrill ride it isn’t but the always solid Mitchum and a few glimpses of Monroe’s legs make it passable entertainment. If only she would let up with the generic sing songs…
OUR RATING— **
