May 14, 2024 · Ol’ Joel McCrea is back on the trail in director George Sherman’s vibrant 1954 Western Border River. McCrea plays Clete Mattson, a solitary traveler who pledges no allegiance to either flag in this time of America’s ongoing Civil War, preferring to claim “the winner” as his side.
User Reviews. Border River at it's time was one of a dwindling band of westerns where you could have a Confederate hero as the lead. Joel McCrea plays a man who was a major on Robert E. Lee's staff. He's pulled off one very big heist at the Denver Mint and he's got 2 million in gold bullion.
Doc Films. During the Civil War, a Confederate officer (Joel McCrea) crosses the border into a Mexican free trade zone with stolen Union gold in order to buy guns. The film’s unique location and narrative stand in contrast to its depoliticized reduction of the Civil War to personal squabbling.
