KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Adam Peters (60%) A somewhat pulpy crime classic featuring a very bad ass Ray Milland, a suitcase filled with cash, and quite an interesting - if quite well worn plot. This is as vibrantly shot as it is entertaining, with a decent level of pacing. And once the opening sequence begins you'd assume this is a full-on romantic flick, but it's not. In fact this quite a surprisingly violent film at times, with real flashes of sharp bite that still hold up even today. There may not be a whole lot here in terms of depth, but as far as relatively tough, censor pushing Hollywood pictures go that passers the time without ever really dragging its feet then look no further.

bkoganbing Watching The River's Edge today put me in mind of The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre. Just imagine if one of those treasure hunters had been a woman on the trip. Think they had problems then?Ray Milland is the Fred C. Dobbs of the piece. Only he's not looking for gold, he's got a valise with a lot of money in cash. A notorious grifter he's on the run and headed for his former girlfriend Debra Paget. He wants the services of her current husband Anthony Quinn who is a guide and tracker to take him across the Mexican border and away from the law.Given Paget's beauty and her involvement with both of these men you can imagine what a tense trip this was. Milland commits two murders along the way, that of a US Border Patrolmen and Chubby Johnson an old prospector Like The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre 90% of the film is focused on the three leads. At no time is anyone truly sure of how they stand with each other. Paget the most confused of all, she loves her husband Quinn in her own way, but Milland is the guy who always scratched her itch.In the end what happens to Milland is almost eerily reminiscent of what happened to Humphrey Bogart in the previous film. And as I wrote in my review of The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre, God really does have a sense of humor.

ianlouisiana Workaholic journeyman Alan Dwan knocks out another instantly forgettable piece of nonsense on time and probably under budget.It's a typical mid - fifties quickie with Debra Paget cast in a "sweater girl" type role as the wife of a dirt poor farmer(Anthony Quinn).Her ex is murdering thief Ray Milland trying but failing dismally to give his role some authority. Forcing Quinn to take him and Miss Paget across the border with a suitcase of ill -gotten gains,he might resemble John Wayne in long shot but there,unfortunately,the resemblance ends. The colour is garish,the plot silly,the acting - apart from a moment or two of presumably accidental near competence by Mr Quinn - appalling. Mr Dwan,whose longevity in movies was truly astonishing and for that reason if no other deserves our respect(definitely no other,actually), no doubt quickly moved on to whatever the studio handed him next and forgot about "The River's Edge" in very short order.I can only recommend that you do the the same.

vitaleralphlouis Now available in DVD, this modern era western concerns a husband (Anthony Quinn), his new wife (Debra Paget), her ex-lover (Ray Milland) and a metal suitcase full of $100 bills.The basic idea involves the ex-lover hiring the husband as a guide to secretly cross into Mexico and abscond with the money -- and to possibly grab back Debra Paget in the process. The story plays out in an interesting manner -- more interesting than any current year movies I can think of -- but no sense saying much more.One thing: Real men, over a certain age, will be interested in knowing that Debra Paget's early scenes show most of her legs, she has two, and both are worth a look (forgetting that she's aged 50 years since 1957). Most of Ms. Paget's screen roles (a Hebrew slave, an Indian girl, etc.) had her covered from neck to toe; except in the sequel to Cheaper By the Dozen where she did that wonderful lithe dance along the beach -- in a knee-length skirt. Nice! Never forget that one! Men just loved Ms. Paget 50 years ago, in any role she played.One special thing in this film are the scenes with Anthony Quinn and Debra Paget where she's cut her arm and he's got to hurt her to administer medical attention. The look and expression of genuine sweet and heartfelt affection that he-man Quinn expresses with few words but expression and movement are 100% on target -- seldom done so well in a movie. Also, his quick-n-quiet Sign of the Cross before he cuts her would make today's Godless and anti-patriotic Hollywood girlie-men cringe. It's good to see a he-man and fine actor in action, and a few candid moments when sweet affection replaces mindless groping.
