River of No Return
1954 | NR | 3.6 out of 5 StarsMarilyn Monroe never looked more radiant (and wind-tossed) than in this Western potboiler in which Robert Mitchum rescues her and husband (Rory Calhoun) from an out-of-control river raft. To show his appreciation, Calhoun steals Mitchum's horse, abandoning them both to hostile Indians. Monroe's good looks are offset nicely by Mitchum's flinty machismo. River of No Return was partly filmed on location in the Pacific Northwest.

Dead Man
1995 | NR | 3.5 out of 5 StarsOnly Jim Jarmusch could direct a Western like this: a poetry-loving American Indian mistakes accountant William Blake (Johnny Depp) for the English writer by the same name, while bounty hunters take Blake for a murderer. Jarmusch packs his independent-minded film with an unlikely collection of castmates, including Iggy Pop, Gabriel Byrne, John Hurt -- and Robert Mitchum, in one of his final big-screen roles.
