RIVER OF NO RETURN (1954)
Bow River, Alberta, Canada

The Bow River near Seebe, Alberta in Canada on a pleasant August day in 2002. RIVER OF NO RETURN (1954), starring Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum, was filmed on the Bow and in Banff National Park (through which it runs) during the summer of 1953.

Another shot of the Bow River near Seebe, Alberta at the base of the Canadian Rockies.  Location shots for MGM's SON OF LASSIE (1944) were also filmed in this region of Banff National Park near the Bow River.
