Description
In this rugged outdoor adventure/love story, Monroe is a saloon singer searching for her missing husband with the help of barrel-chested Mitchum. Their perilous journey on a river raft takes great advantage of a then-new widescreen frame. “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.” (Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader)
