Red River (1948)

(Howard Hawks, US 1948, 133 min., 35mm)

The Canon. See one of John Wayne’s best performances, here alongside Montgomery Clift in an epic western that, in the tradition of celebrated director Howard Hawks, places character and human emotions over spectacle. The story, a sort of Mutiny on the Bounty of the West, concerns a cattle drive and the battle over leadership between rancher Tom Dunson and his son Matt. More than a shoot-em-up, Red River is a resonant and deeply moving masterpiece about family, friendship, and mutual respect.

Note start time.

About This Series

The Canon

There are certain films that transcend the medium. These are films that have become part of the fabric of our culture, known through images, quotes, music, and story by more than just the people who have seen them. To see these classic films the way they were meant to be, on archival 35mm, has become a rarity. Rochester audiences, however, are lucky enough to still experience cinema this way, here at the Dryden Theatre. Starting in October and throughout the fall, the Dryden will bring some of these beloved films out of the vault for the entire family to enjoy.
