Editorial Review:

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
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - THE REAL MARILYN.
What can i say? from the moment the film opens and you see The Canadian mountains in colour you know you are in for a treat.Marilyn is amazing, she looks beautiful and i have got to say she looks good in jeans.The four songs she sings 'River Of No Return','I'm Gonna File My Claim','Down In The Meadow'and 'A Fine Romance'show Marilyns vocals off to great effect. She comes across as a real star and you cant help but be drawn into the film from start to finish. The river scenes are amazing and to think Marilyn was actually on the raft in the roughest places. If you want to see a Marilyn Monroe film watch this one you wont be disapointed.
