Amazon.co.uk Review
The dew of new stardom was still visible on Marilyn Monroe when
she ventured up to Canada to shoot River of
New Return (1954), a sturdily entertaining
CinemaScope Western. Although director Otto Preminger later
claimed little interest in the picture, he couldn't help but
bring his even-handed visual style to the widescreen process. The
location shooting (in Alberta) is eye-filling, and that river
really does look alarming. Best of all, a fresh and vital Marilyn
had a costar to match her magnetism but not humour her sometimes
scattered approach to acting. Robert Mitchum, as a homesteader
with a dark past, is weighty enough to stand next to MM's bright
flame without giving any ground; they should have worked together
again. Since Marilyn plays a saloon singer, she gets to croon
some tunes in her inimitable style, with as much glamour as the
gold rush-era trappings will allow, giving "I'm Going to
File My Claim" previously unexplored shades of meaning. --Robert
Horton, Amazon.com
Synopsis
A western tale, set in the days of the California Gold Rush, in
which Miss Monroe appears as a saloon singer who falls into the
capable arms of Robert Mitchum after she is cruelly abandoned by
her husband, Calhoun.

Amazon.co.uk Review
Woody Allen's feature-film debut, Take the
Money and Run, a mockumentary that combines
sight gags, sketchlike scenes, and stand-up jokes at rat-a-tat
speed, looks positively primitive compared to his mature work.
Primitive, but awfully funny. Allen plays Virgil Starkwell, a
music-loving nebbish who turns to a life of crime at an early age
and, undaunted by his utter and complete failure to pull off a
single successful robbery, continues his unbroken spree of
bungled heists and prison breaks even after he marries and raises
a family. Narrator Jackson Beck, whose stentorian voice of
authority makes a perfect foil for Starkwell's absurd exploits,
lobs one droll quip after another with deadpan seriousness.
Though spotty, Allen tosses so many jokes into the mix that it
hardly matters and when they hit they are often hilarious: the
chain gang posing as cousins to their old-woman hostage ("We're
very close", Virgil explains to a dim cop), arguing with a
dotty movie director who is supposed to be their cover for a bank
robbery, Virgil's escape attempt with a bar of soap. Allen spoofs
decades of crime films, everything from I Am
a Fugitive from a Chain Gang to Bonnie
and Clyde, but you don't have to know the
movies to enjoy this goofy, sometimes clumsy, but quite clever
comedy. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com
