Bend of the River

Man-with-a-past James Stewart guides a band of pioneers from Missouri over the Oregon Trail to a new life in the Columbia River Basin in this Western adventure directed by Anthony Mann. When the settlers are cheated out of their supplies and cattle, Stewart crosses rivers, climbs mountains, and out-guns greedy hijackers to ensure their survival through the first winter. Along the way, he is double-crossed by ally Arthur Kennedy and assisted by handsome San Francisco gambler Rock Hudson and beautiful farmer’s daughter Julie Adams. Veteran entertainer Stepin’ Fetchit is featured as the riverboat cabin boy.Starring: James Stewart, Rock Hudson, Julia Adams, Arthur KennedyDirected by: Anthony Mann Disc 1Run Time: 1 Hours and 32 MinutesMPAA Rating: Not RatedAudio: Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono (English), Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono (French)Subtitles: English SDH, French, SpanishPicture: Full Frame (1.33:1)ColorBonus:Theatrical TrailerOther DVDs with James Stewart:Destry Rides Again, The Far Country, The Rare Breed, Shenandoah, Winchester '73, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Rope, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, Night Passage, Rear Window, VertigoOther DVDs with Rock Hudson:Battle Hymn, Come September, Lover Come Back, Man's Favorite Sport?, Pillow Talk, Send Me No Flowers, Strange Bedfellows, Winchester '73, McMillan & Wife: Season OneOther DVDs with Julia Adams:Creature From the Black LagoonOther DVDs with Anthony Mann:The Far Country, Winchester '73
