The striking beauties of the Canadian Rockies co-star with the blonde charms of Marilyn Monroe and the masculine muscles of Robert Mitchum in River of No Return.

Critic

RTEmpire MagazineOct 23, 2007

Some decent performances, but with this story they didn't have much of a chance.

Dave Kehr

RTChicago ReaderOct 23, 2007

One of the first films to discover the potential of CinemaScope and a fine example of Preminger's rational approach to the mysteries of personal morality.

RTGone With The TwinsAug 23, 2025

The predictability doesn’t stop the film from being consistently entertaining, even without a significant amount of originality for the Western genre.
