River Of No Return                                                                   돌아오지 않는 강

(If you listen you can hear it call) Wail-a ree There is a river called the river of no return Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free Love is a traveller on the river of no return Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea Wail-a ree I can hear the river call Where the roarin' waters fall Wail-a-ree I can hear my lover call "come to me" No return, no return I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn Gone gone for ever down the river of no return Wail-a-ree, wail-a-re-e-ee She'll [He'll] never return to me No return, no return. ----------------------------------

그대 귀 기울여 들으면 그 부르는 소리 들을 수 있어요 울어라. 울어 "돌아오지 않는 강"이라고 불리는 어느 강이 있어요 그 강은 가끔 평화롭지만 어떤 때는 거칠고 자유롭지요 사랑이란  "돌아오지 않는 강"위의 나그네. 쓸려 내려가 영원히  폭풍의 바다로 사라지는. 울어라, 울어, 난 들을 수 있어요 그  강이  부르는 소리  떨어지는 강물이 표호하는 곳에서, 울어라. 울어,  들을 수 있어요 "내게로 오세요",내 연인이 부르는 소리  돌아오지 않아, 돌아오지 않아요  난 내 사랑을 그 강에서 잃고 내 마음 영원히 그리워할 거요.  가버렸네, 영원히 가버렸어요, "돌아오지 않는 강" 저 아래로 울어라. 울어... 울어라. 울어 그녀(그)는 내게로 결코 돌아오지 못할 거예요 돌아오지 않아, 돌아오지 않아요.

Plot

Set in the Northwestern United States in 1875, the film focuses on taciturn widower Matt Calder (Robert Mitchum), who has recently been released from prison after serving time for killing one man while defending another. He arrives in a boomtown tent city in search of his nine-year-old son Mark (Tommy Rettig), who was left in the care of dance hall singer Kay (Marilyn Monroe) after the man who brought him there as Matt had arranged took off for the hills. Matt promises Mark, a virtual stranger to him, the two will enjoy a life of hunting, fishing and farming on their homestead.

Kay's fiance, gambler Harry Weston (Rory Calhoun), tells her they must go to Council City to file the deed on a gold mine he won in a poker game. They head downriver on a homemade log raft, and when they encounter trouble in the rapids near the Calder farm, Matt and Mark rescue them. Harry offers to buy Matt's rifle and horse so as to reach Council City by land. When Matt refuses, Harry knocks Matt unconscious and steals both horse and rifle. Kay chooses to stay behind to take care of Matt and Mark, and the three are stranded in the wilderness.

When hostile Indians attack the farm, the three are forced to escape down the river on Harry's raft. That night they set up camp by the river, and Matt and Kay argue about the wisdom of pursuing Harry. Matt asks why Kay would choose to marry a man who had endangered a child, whereupon she reminds him that Harry never killed a man like Matt did. Mark overhears their discussion, and Matt is forced to reveal the truth about his past to his son, who is unable to comprehend why his father acted as he did.

As the three continue their journey, Kay comes to appreciate Matt's bravery and the tender way he cares for both her and Mark. Along the way, they are forced to deal with a series of trials and tribulations, including a mountain lion attack; gold prospectors Sam Benson and Dave Colby, who are after Harry for stealing their claim; and a second Indian war party.

After a difficult ride through the worst of the rapids, the three arrive in Council City and confront Harry. Harry shoots at Matt, prompting Mark to shoot Harry in the back, using a rifle that he was inspecting in the general store. As a result, Mark comes to understand why his father had to shoot a man in a similar fashion so many years before.

Afterwards, Kay finds a job at the local saloon. While she is singing there, Matt walks into the saloon and throws Kay over his shoulder to take her back to his farm along with Mark. She happily leaves with him. The final scene is Kay throwing her high heeled showgirl shoes from their buckboard into the street, a renunciation of her old life.
