As promised, here's the link for Kehr on EF's westerns.

Strange that Warner Home Video still hasn't released Silver River to the domestic market.  I picked up my copy...in France! It's well worth seeing.  EF and Sheridan play off each other well, and the film has a great score by Max Steiner.   

Best, Sean
