Description
A vintage French movie poster of ''Many Rivers to Cross'', a 1955 American Western comedy film directed by Roy Rowland and starring Robert Taylor and Eleanor Parker. The film is set in the early 19th century and combines elements of comedy, adventure, and romance.
The story revolves around Bushrod Gentry (played by Robert Taylor), a roguish frontiersman and fur trapper in Kentucky. Bushrod is known for his independent and carefree lifestyle, but his life takes a dramatic turn when he encounters Mary Stuart Cherne (played by Eleanor Parker), a headstrong and feisty woman who becomes his love interest.
Mary Stuart Cherne is a wealthy, spoiled heiress who is traveling with her family to the American West. After a series of events, including a run-in with Bushrod's unruly bear, Mary finds herself stranded in the wilderness with him. Despite their initial clashes and differences in social background, a romantic spark develops between them.
As the story unfolds, Bushrod and Mary must navigate various challenges and obstacles in the untamed wilderness, including encounters with Native American tribes, river crossings, and other perils. The film blends humor and adventure as the two characters gradually develop feelings for each other.
"Many Rivers to Cross" is known for its lighthearted and comedic take on the Western genre, as well as for the chemistry between its two lead actors, Robert Taylor and Eleanor Parker. The film explores themes of love, adventure, and the clash of cultures in the American frontier of the 19th century.
While "Many Rivers to Cross" may not be as well-remembered as some other Western classics, it remains a charming and entertaining entry in the genre, offering a unique blend of romance and comedy against the backdrop of the rugged American wilderness.
About the artist:
Roger Soubie (1898–1984) was born in France and lived in Granville, France after World War II. He began his career by drawing magazine covers and advertising posters for railway companies, car manufacturers, and travel agencies. During his long career as an artist, Soubie created nearly 2,000 film posters, many of which are highly celebrated.
His style is always characterized by lively brushstrokes, attentive to tones, shadows, and transparencies in this wide variety of genres, scenes, and characters. The skin of his actresses, their swathing dresses, look like shining silk designed by a Renaissance painter.
The lines are realistic and traditional: the movie stars are depicted with their distinctive features, almost lifelike, but the composition makes his design genuinely original. Soubie’s protagonists are sometimes centered in the middle of the scene. Other posters may have them inserted in frames or articulated between numerous words and titles with different fonts. Soubie’s movie posters are dynamic. Like an engaging movie, always in motion.
