Summary of this DVD...
I was watching a bunch of old Marilyn Monroe Movies. This one is the dumbest of the lot.

It is a western filmed in the Canadian Rockies so there is nice scenery and Monroe looks pretty with long hair, but that's about it.

A man named Calder(Robert Mitchum) sends for his son after the mother dies. Another man, Weston,(Rory Calhoun) robs him and takes his horse and causes his cabin to burn down. Mitchum's character hooks up with a singer named Kay (Monroe). Kay has been engaged to Weston, but she doesn't like what he did to Calder.

She and Calder irritate each other, but they both love the boy. Soon, they are attracted to each other as they fight their way down the river on a raft. The raft scenes are really dopey looking.

They hunt for the horse and to pay back
I especially liked...
Monroe - she lights up the screen. Tommy Rettig as the kid was cute too.
I didn't like...
Robert Mitchum. His acting was very weird in this and he acted like he could not stand Monroe even when he was supposed to be falling for her. It was like she had bad breath or something.
I don't recommend this DVD because...
I thought it was dopey. I am not a big fan of westerns, but this one went out of its way to be dopey and dumb in the plot department. I would give it *Thumbsdown*
