Red River is a 1948 Western film directed by Howard Hawks, giving a fictional account of the first cattle drive from Texas to Kansas along the Chisholm Trail. The dramatic tension stems from a growing feud over the management of the drive, between the Texas rancher who initiated it (John Wayne) and his adopted adult son (Montgomery Clift).

The film also starred Joanne Dru, Walter Brennan, Coleen Gray, Harry Carey, John Ireland, Hank Worden, Noah Beery Jr. and Harry Carey, Jr. Borden Chase wrote the script with Charles Schnee, based on Chase's original story (which was first serialized in The Saturday Evening Post in 1946 as "Blazing Guns on the Chisholm Trail").

Red River was filmed in 1946 but not released until September 30, 1948. Footage from Red River was later incorporated into the opening montage of Wayne's last film, The Shootist, to illustrate the backstory of Wayne's character. The film was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Film Editing (Christian Nyby) and Best Writing, Motion Picture Story. In 1990, Red River was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." John Ford—who worked with Wayne on many films (such as The Searchers, Stagecoach, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance)—was so impressed with Wayne's performance that he is reported to have said, "I didn't know the big son of a bitch could act!" In June 2008, AFI listed Red River as the fifth-best film in the western genre.

This score by Dimitri Tiomkin was arguably the best match of music to screen action ever produced. The slow tempo of the main theme representing the slow, inexorable trudge of 9000 head of cattle being driven north through the heart of Texas. Also representing the indefatigable drive of Thomas Dunson, the principle character. Unforgettable classic!

Stunning music, a photoessay to match, and a perfect ending in the way you slowly pan up the poster, to underscore the towering figure of John Wayne's Tom Dunson.But where's this theme from? I can't find it in the score. Was it a suite that Tiomkin derived from the score?Thanks so much.Nicholas Stix, Uncensored

A great film and a classic musical score. Sadly, Dimitri Tiomkin's great theme is not included in this clip. Search for the clip with the Russian men's choir singing the main theme. It is great. The quiet, ominous scene before the stampede is one of the best ever filmed and stays with you forever.

As good as Wayne and Cliff were, for Walter Brennan Red River was another case of GTM --- Grand Theft Movie --- where the greatest of supporting actors nearly made the movie his own. One example, in crossing the Red River, Brennan was driving the chuck wagon and does a side turn so the camera in back would catch him so film goers know it was him and not a stunt man handling the team of horses.
