Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Motion Pictures | 1953 | Howard
Budget 2,000,000 USD
While shooting Red River (1948), there was a scene that director Howard Hawks unsuccessfully urged John Wayne to do. It involved his getting a finger mangled between a saddle horn and a rope, resulting in Walter Brennan's amputating it. Hawks reportedly told Wayne, "If you're not good enough, we won't do it", but Wayne wouldn't do it. According to Hawks biographer Todd McCarthy, Hawks did get Kirk Douglas to do that scene in this film, and it came off so funny that Wayne later declared to Hawks, "If you tell me a funeral is funny, I'll do a funeral."
Montgomery Clift was offered the role of "Boone Caudill", but turned it down. It was eventually given to Dewey Martin.
Narrated by Arthur Hunnicutt.
Features Arthur Hunnicutt's only Oscar nominated performance.
Hank Worden (whose character speaks mostly Blackfoot) is very obviously dubbed by someone whose voice sounds nothing like his.
"Zeb Calloway: Blackfeet... proud injuns. They ain't gonna let no white man spile their country. The only thing they'a feared of is a white man's sickness. Boone Cardell: What's that? Zeb Calloway: Grabs. White men don't see nothing pretty unless they want to grab it. The more they grab, the more they want to grab. It's like a fever and they can't get cured. The only thing for them to do is to keep on grabbin' until everything belongs to white men and then start grabbin' from each other. I reckon injuns got no reason to love nothing white."
"Zeb Calloway: They ain't deservin' of it, but I guess we better bury 'em."
