Customer Reviews

"Robert Taylor Series ... Many Rivers to Cross (1955) ... MGM (2008)"
MGM presents "MANY RIVERS TO CROSS" (23 February 1955) (95 mins/Color) (Dolby digitally remastered) -- Our story line and plot, Bushrod Gentry (Robert Taylor) is the freelance fur trapper who is passing through --- On his way he is rescued by Mary Stuart Cherne (Eleanor Parker) --- Following this, the battle of the sexes begins --- It is frontier wits versus feminine charm, and guile --- Victor McLaughlin is himself (but that's just fine by me), James Arness plays a mountain man and a young Alan Hale Jr. (before Gilligan's Island) combine with the perennially juvenile antics of Russ Tamblyn to provide and hour and a half plus of escapist entertainment and downright good old fashioned laughter --- The final scene of Parker moaning over Taylor to attract the Indians to the scene and kill them, very funny and neatly done, easily worth the price of the ticket, or what must have been for those that saw it in the theater.

Comedy western
Really enjoyed this movie. Good plot development and acting. Had some serious moments too. It all works well together. The fight with Indian in the cave is hilarious slapstick.

Many Rivers to Cross
A mixture of comedy and western action set in Kentucky during the l8th century. Bushrod Gentry, played by Robert Taylor, is excellent in fighting any opponent be it Indians or other foe. But when Eleanor Powell comes along with marriage on her mind, she breaks down all his defenses. Although he does put up a mighty fight. Hilarious and very entertaining.
