THE RIVER'S EDGE (BLU-RAY)

“Director Allan Dwan fills the sunbaked landscape with an acrid haze of moods and a suffocating tangle of emotions, which he conjures with sharp, stark images of stifled frenzy...in a few slashing brushstrokes, Dwan captures the ecstatic horror of life on the edge.”
- Richard Brody, The New Yorker

“Yet another example of Dwan’s enterprise under pressure. He gets a scathing performance out of Milland [and] proves characteristically at home with the expanses of CinemaScope.”
- Trevor Johnston, Time Out Film Guide

Director Allan Dwan ? an auteur theory favorite ? brings us The River’s Edge (1957), a sensational film noir in DeLuxe color and CinemaScope. Anthony Quinn and Debra Paget star as a young couple struggling with the rough life on a New Mexican ranch; as if they needed more troubles, her former lover, a sleazy bank robber on the run ? played by Ray Milland with shocking ferocity ? turns up, forcing them to escort him across the border to Mexico with his ill-gotten gains.
