Check out the cast list, if you've forgotten. This 1988 film hearkens back to the epic blockbusters and disaster films of a few decades earlier, where the audience was kept awake playing the game of Spot The Star in the dozen or so cameos. Here we have the cinematic equivalent of an all-star game of western stars, who even in 1988, might have shined in a small original part they could make their own. "Red River" certainly did not warrant a remake. Perhaps MGM would have done better to put together a Wild West version of "That's Entertainment". Regardless, my enjoyment of this film was mostly due to seeing all the old familiar faces, now a bit older, and remembering them in their glory days.
