It's fun watching Mitchum and Monroe heat things up in the Old West; Monroe is at her most luminous as a saloon singer with a heart of gold.
03/10/03
Despite some pretty locations and occasional tension, there's little going on.
10/23/07
One of the first films to discover the potential of CinemaScope and a fine example of Preminger's rational approach to the mysteries of personal morality.

Top CriticIt's an awfully creaky story but the superb performances and Preminger's amazing use of widescreen make it a must-see.

Some decent performances, but with this story they didn't have much of a chance.
10/23/07
Typical of the genre
04/28/02
Director Otto Preminger has thrown all the grandeur and menace of these features upon the eye-filling CinemaScope screen.
03/25/06
Marilyn turns in a surprisingly okay performance.
01/03/08
There really is no return.
06/24/06
Director Otto Preminger's only western is a simple, frequently charming, and beautifully photographed film blessed with fine performances and great teamwork from Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe.
10/23/07
The striking beauties of the Canadian Rockies co-star with the blonde charms of Marilyn Monroe and the masculine muscles of Robert Mitchum in River of No Return.
