River Of No Return (1954)

4/10. Run of the mill western that serves mostly as a vehicle for Marilyn Monroe.

Farmer Robert Mitchum and his son, Lassie's Tommy Rettig, rescue Marilyn Monroe and her husband Rory Calhoun from a river raft with dire consequences.

Not much here, though I was hoping for something with Otto Preminger attached as director. But this film was really just a draw for audiences to see Marilyn Monroe in a western. There's a few of scenes with Marilyn singing, a scene where she's clothed only in a blanket, she almost gets raped by Robert Mitchum, and she gets her overshirt torn off by an Indian. Plus there's a moral about when it's ok to shoot someone in the back. That's it. Other than some not so beautifully shot vistas in Cinemascope, this film has nothing really to offer.
