Bend of the River is a 1952 Western film directed by Anthony Mann, starring James Stewart, Arthur Kennedy, Julie Adams, and Rock Hudson.It's 1866 and Glyn McLyntock (Stewart) is acting as a guide, taking a group of settlers from Missouri to the Columbia River territory of Oregon. Glyn is haunted by his past: some years ago he was a "border raider" on the Missouri-Kansas border. Glyn is hoping to start a new life for himself as a farmer or rancher. One night when the wagon train is camped, he rescues one Emerson Cole (Kennedy) from getting lynched by some people who claim Cole stole a horse. As it turns out, Cole was also a border raider back in the day. Jeremy Baile, the leader of the group of settlers, is none too happy to have Cole with the wagon train. Baile is unaware of Glyn's similar history.Glyn successfully guides the wagon train to Portland, Oregon, but not before Jeremy's beautiful daughter Laurie (Adams) is wounded in an attack by the Shoshones. Glyn and Jeremy buy food for the winter from Portland merchant Tom Hendricks and then go upriver to scout out a settlement while Laurie stays in Portland to recover. When neither Laurie nor the food shows up at the settlement, Glyn and Jeremy go back to Portland, only to receive unpleasant news. While they were upriver starting the settlement, gold was discovered elsewhere along the Columbia. Hendricks has reneged on their deal and sold their food to the gold miners. Meanwhile, Laurie is dating ne'er-do-well Emerson Cole, to her father's displeasure. Also in the mix is professional gambler Trey Wilson (Hudson). | |

Retired Badass: Glyn was a fearsome "border raider" back in the day, but all he wants now is a quiet life farming or ranching. | |

Shipper on Deck: Jeremy is more than happy to see Trey and Marjie get together (especially after Trey's Heel–Face Revolving Door ends up saving his life), and he's also happy for Glyn and Laura getting together. Cole and Laura, not so much. | |

Bend of the River / int_97522514 | comment |
Heel–Face Revolving Door: Trey starts out as an affable type who does some mild flirting with Marjie, and later he helps Glyn and Jeremy get their supplies onto the steamship. Then later he supports Cole when Cole overthrows Glyn and seizes the food. Then still later, after Glyn slices his cheek with a bullet, Trey flips again and helps Glyn defeat Cole. | |

Bend of the River / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: As they're coming into Portland, Jeremy wonders if it would be quicker to go over the mountains instead of around. Glyn vetoes this, saying that it's highly dangerous and they could get stuck up on the mountain and die. Later, Glyn decides that crossing over the mountain is just what they'll have to do to outrace Hendricks and his goons. | |
