On this day in 1948, UNITED ARTISTS released the Western classic RED RIVER. Directed by HOWARD HAWKES, this epic tale of cowboys and cattle drives never gets old. The all-star cast of HAWKES regulars included JOHN WAYNE, MONTGOMERY CLIFT, JOANNE DRU, WALTER BRENNAN, HARRY CAREY, JOHN IRELAND, NOAH BEERY JR., HARRY CAREY JR. and PAUL FIX. A must-see film!
