Canyon River (1956)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.35:1 79m
Director: Harmon Jones
Cast: George Montgomery, Marcia Henderson, Peter Graves
Synopsis:
A rancher sets out to drive Hereford cattle from Oregon to Wyoming with a woman and boy in tow, but his jilted foreman double crosses him with a gang of rustlers.
Review:
Wholesome cowpoker with Montgomery (white hat) beating Graves (black hat) in the charm stakes, and Henderson baking apple pies and vegetarian menu on an open range. The central narrative has an irresistibly American forward-thrusting entrepreneurialism about it, as Parker risks everything on the gamble of driving fragile cows north to crossbreed them with his Texan longhorn, and all in the name of a fatter steak. Interestingly, though, this is tempered by his proto-communist gesture of sharing out the breeding stock among the economically stricken smallholders of his state.
