This movie was made in 1952 with Jimmy Stewart and Arthur Kennedy.
in the direction of great Anthony Mann who also made "NAKED SPUR" in 1953 with Jimmy Stewart and Robert Ryan and again took the same pair of Bend of the River and made another wonderful film called "THE MAN FROM LARAMIE" in 1955.This Movie starts with the wagon train going to Oregon Territory from Missouri.
In those days it was so tough on the new settlers to reach the destination,many could hardly make it because of the distance,weather,food shortage and the dangers which lies ahead but they made it-"Result"- Today we sitting in the comfort of our homes and watching the same story on DVD and wide screen TV.-"The Same place where the pioneer's struggled to reach and who laid the foundation with their hard work for us to injoy today.Jimmy Stewart is the Guide in this who had survived a hanging in the past and so on the way saves a man from hanging too who happens to be Arthur Kennedy the villan and a fast gun.Before reaching destination they take a short cut by a riverboat where Rock Hudson a gambler teams up with them and the story goes on till the final shoot out.I like all the westerns of Jimmy Stewart.This Print is good and Iloved the movie.
