Red River

Somewhat of a disappointment. It was too boring, and I believe it would have held little interest for me if it weren't for beautiful Montgomery Clift. The Western filmscape was nice, but for crying out loud - too many cattle! The story is a little hard to follow, partly because you expect that there just HAS to be more to it. Perhaps I would have found it to be more emotionally compelling if I had seen it from the beginning (I caught only about the last half). In any case, I'm bemused to learn that of all the possible awards it could get at the Oscars, Red River was nominated for Best Editing and Best Writing.
