Bend of the river

Rugged cowboy Glyn McLyntock struggles to hide his dark past as he guides a wagon train through the treacherous Oregon wilderness. To help the settlers survive the hostile conditions, he must choose his allies wisely and confront the ghosts of his former self. Bend of the River was the second of eight films James Stewart and Anthony Mann made together and marked a turning point in Stewart’s career showcasing the actor’s darker side.

Bend of the River is a film about changing direction. It’s about following a path, such as a river, and then reaching a point at which it becomes necessary to turn, to change. Almost every character in the film changes direction at some point, and the entire plot structure is based on the idea of duality or the potential for change (either to good or bad) in all of mankind.

With Anthony Mann, one rediscovers the western, as one discovers arithmetic in an elementary math class.
