Bend Of The River was an incredible movie! Both James Stewart and Arthur Kennedy were amazing! Maybe thats what makes the movie so good.The great cast includes James Stewart, Arthur Kennedy, Julie Adams, Rock Hudson, Lori Nelson. The movie moves on like a dream and end leaving you wanting for more.
If you love watching James Stewart or Arthur Kennedy, you are deffinetly going to want to watch Bend Of The River.
Besides being a terrific movie in its own right--and the second entry in a remarkable eight-film series teaming director Anthony Mann and star James Stewart--Bend of the River is also fascinating as a variation on one of the greatest Westerns. With or without anyone else's knowledge, screenwriter Borden Chase reworked scenes, character configurations, and much of the structure of Red River, the screenplay of which he had cowritten (from his own novel) for director Howard Hawks six years earlier. Seeing what Hawks and Mann did with some of the same scenes--a spooky night skirmish with Indians, for instance--makes for a compelling lesson in the transformative power of directorial style.
Instead of Texas and the Chisholm Trail, Bend of the River is set in the Oregon river country, with a wagon train substituting for an epic cattle drive. Wagonmaster Stewart, a man with a secret past he's determined to redeem, rescues another, not-so-ex-renegade (Arthur Kennedy) from a lynching. Stewart finds Kennedy a powerful ally in a fight but ultimately has to face him as a mortal enemy--and to revert to his old savage ways in order to save his adopted community. Along the trail, they are variously companioned and/or menaced by the likes of slick gambler Rock Hudson (compare the Cherry Valance part in Red River) and hard cases Harry (then Henry) Morgan, Royal Dano, and Jack Lambert. There's knockout scenery, as usual with Mann, and fight-to-the-death action as bracing as a plunge into an icy river. --Richard T. Jameson
Wow! I really loved the movie Black Cat Run. The movie is absolutely stunning with top-notch graphics and visuals while Patrick Muldoon deliver some award-winning performances in this movie. I also think Peter Greene was great! The visuals and graphics make for some very realistic on screen special-effects but that is the beauty of the movie.When the movie wants to be funny it is funny, the same is true for when the movie needs to deliver its scary aspects.
I think Patrick Muldoon and Peter Greene worked wonderful in Black Cat Run. The great supporting cast includes Patrick Muldoon, Peter Greene, Amelia Heinle, Russell Means, Kevin J. O'Connor.
You should see it, make no mistake this is a definite blockbuster!
I left some information, immages, and video previews of Black Cat Run below.
Summary of Black Cat Run: A carload of escaped convicts just slaughtered the sheriff and kidnapped his daughter. Now they're heading for the border and the cops think Johnny did it! With the cops shooting first and asking questions later, Johnny's got a choice: Take the killer's bullet up front, or get shot in the back by the cops. Get ready for the Black Cat Run!
