the river's edge (1957)


"Ah, you do remember. What a team. The best in the business."
Ben Cameron (Anthony Quinn) is a rancher and guide in New Mexico. He is newly married to self confessed city girl, and ex-con Margaret (Debra Paget). She is finding it hard to adapt to the rigors of desert life, and is about to leave Ben, when Nardo Denning (Ray Milland) arrives begging to be guided into Mexico, offering huge amounts of money. Why does Denning need to get across the boarder, and why did he come to Ben to do so?
An Ok melodrama, with a number of twists and turns along the way.
Ray Milland steals the show here as the cold-hearted killer, as the past relationships and life of Margaret is unveiled.
