    • Quotes

      Matt Brown: I gave an order. I expect any man who works for me to obey it.

      Chip Donohue: No, it's not what you say that galls me. It's the way you say it.

      Matt Brown: You'll get used to it.

      Chip Donohue: The question is, do I want to?

      Matt Brown: You know when a man works the same job too long, he gets thinking no one else can do it.

      Chip Donohue: I guess that makes him as big a fool as the boy who thinks if he gives enough orders, nobody will have time enough to know that most of them don't make sense.

    AUDIE MURPHY DESCENDING FROM A DECADE OF STAR-POWER & SOME FINE WESTERNS
    At this Point in His Career Audie Murphy began to Show Personal Problems and Uneasiness with Films and Productions Available.

    The Off-Screen Personal Problems, such as Gambling Debts and a Disgruntled Attitude Started to Manifest On-Set and On-Screen.

    In this "Red River" (1948) Retread He seems Miscast as a Bully.

    The Movie even Cribbed Scenes from the Aforementioned Cattle-Drive and Murph Thought the Script was Sub-Par.

    Filmed in B&W, another Irritation that Didn't Sit Well.

    Co-Star Terry Moore Encouraged Him to "Bite the Bullet" and Give it His All when Murph didn't even want to Rehearse.

    That Helped a Little, but His Performance came Across as Below His Usual Standard.

    John Dehner does a Good Job and the Rest of the Cast are OK.

    But Thomas Carr's Lackluster Direction Didn't Help the Movie to Rise Above Average.

    Overall, it's Not a Bad Movie, but Audie Murphy Fans may be Disappointed.

    The 60's were Not Kind to the Former Super-Star and this one could be Seen as the Start of the Decline.

    The Western Movie was also Suffering from Over-Exposure on the Big and Small Screen and would Soon be Out of Favor.

    The End of the Decade Long Run was around 1962.

    But After All this Being Said, its Still...

    Worth a Watch.
