River of No Return is a 1954 western film made by 20th Century Fox in CinemaScope and directed by Otto Preminger. The film stars Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe with Rory Calhoun.
The film is particularly notable for its brisk pace, achieved by the editing of Louis R. Loeffler, with very quick cuts between scenes. Mitchum and Monroe performed many of their own stunts and Monroe badly twisted her ankle during production. River of No Return featured the majestic scenery of Banff and Jasper National Parks in Alberta, Canada.
Both Preminger and Monroe were forced to do the film against their will, due to contractual obligations. They both expressed their frustration over the script which they considered below par. However, the film was a box office hit upon its release and remains a popular classic western.
The action takes place in Northwest Canada, during the period of the Gold Rush.
Having just been released from prison, Matt Calder (Robert Mitchum) is forced to rescue gambler Harry Weston (Rory Calhoun) and his wife, saloon singer Kay (Marilyn Monroe), from the rapids near his farm. Weston steals Calder's horse and rides away, leaving widower Calder, his ten-year-old son Mark (Tommy Rettig), and Kay stranded. When hostile Indians threaten the farm, Matt, his son, and Kay are forced to escape down the dangerous rapids on a raft.
Afterwards, Matt finds Harry in town and confronts him. Just as Harry is about to shoot Matt, Mark shoots Harry. Kay reassures the boy that he had no choice. Kay returns to singing at the local saloon until Matt arrives and carries her away.
If you listen you can hear it call
Wail-a-ree [wail-a-ree]
There is a river called THE RIVER OF NO RETURN
Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free!
Love is a trav'ler on THE RIVER OF NO RETURN
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea
Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call [ no return, no return ]
Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree
I can hear my lover call come to me [ no return, no return ]
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn
Gone gone for ever down THE RIVER OF NO RETURN
Wail-a-ree wail-a-re-e-ee
He'll never return to me! [ no return, no return, no return ]
