Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Leofwine_draca RIVER OF NO RETURN is a fairly standard western adventure that features the pairing of movie tough guy Robert Mitchum and the iconic actress Marilyn Monroe. It's one of those river-themed movies which, like THE RIVER WILD, features the characters rafting down a sometimes turbulent river for much of the running time.It's an acceptable enough piece of fare, one which has dated somewhat but still works as a harmless time-waster. Rory Calhoun's bad guy is never quite as villainous or as imposing as he ought to be, but there's a nice twist ending and Mitchum's bravado keeps you watching. Monroe is quite gracious although she does spoil things by singing a little too much. The back projection effects don't look very good these days but there are some fun stunt scenes to enjoy.

michfilippou I was really disappointed, i was expecting more from this film.The beautiful scenery is the only thing positive i can say about this movie.I didn't enjoy the film due to its racist content!It wasn't enough that Americans destroyed their land and murdered their race they make Indians appear hostile,villains and without manners.That's why it was hard for me to sympathize any of the protagonist(Matt,Kay etc.). Marilyn is pretty as always and sings lovely but that alone cant make the film better.It has bad special effects(especially on the river). About the story not much is going on, there is not much action.In general i would only suggest it because Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum are the protagonists and you're a fan.I really enjoyed though the scene in the beginning where Padre (the priest) says:"i came here as a missioner to the Indians but the white men need me more"

SnoopyStyle Matt Calder (Robert Mitchum) returns from prison taking his son Mark back to their farm on a river. Harry Weston and his wife Kay (Marilyn Monroe) get into trouble on their raft and the Calders come to their help. Harry is a professional gambler and she's a saloon girl. He's registering a mining claim and steals the Calders' only gun and horse. Fearing an Indian attack, the Calders and Kay set off down the wild river on the raft.Otto Preminger... Robert Mitchum... Marilyn Monroe, just the names alone I had no choice but to check this out. Of course I didn't know that Otto and Marilyn were forced into making this movie. Marilyn Monroe didn't sing her songs. Matt tries to rape Kay. The only good thing is Marilyn has a nice pair of tight jeans and she got really wet. It has some river stunt work but the story isn't anything to be proud of. Apparently, it was a tough shoot. Check it out if you're a fan of any of the three names.

edwagreen Average western which again proved that Marilyn Monroe could not act. Here, she attempted to strum on a guitar, as a dance hall queen in love with gold prospector Rory Calhoun. Coming off his successful airplane pilot two years before in the smash-hit, "With A Song in My Heart," Calhoun, as the evil person here, comes off rather calmly.Robert Mitchum, as the jailed man, who picks up his son in a camp where Monroe is singing and Tommy Rettig, of television's "Lassie Fame," steal the film here.Rettig learns that his father was jailed when he shot someone in the back. Ironically, he will learn that cruel lesson once again at picture's end. Exploring the relationship that develops while rafting with Mitchum and Monroe forms the basis of the film. It's only partially successful at best.
