But their peaceful existence is sabotaged when Matt is robbed and pistol-whipped by cold-blooded gambler Harry Weston. Unexpectedly, Weston’s fiance, Kay postpones her wedding so she can nurse Matt back to health. In his pursuit to exact revenge at any cost, Matt takes Kay and Mark on a treacherous ride down a roaring river, where they’re at the mercy of wild animals and a lawless frontier.<div><br></div><div>Shot in the Canadian Rockies on resplendent Technicolor, and the first time the CinemaScope extension to the 20th Century Fox fanfare was used on film, <i>River of No Return</i> is a little piece of Americana that is stunning to look at on the big screen. Marilyn Monroe stars as saloon singer Kay - ironically, while nursing Matt back to health on screen, she was playing through a sprained ankle sustained while almost drowning on set on the titular river!</div>AdventurePT1H31MPG2026-08-04
