Silent Tongue was the last River Phoenix film to be released - a year after his premature death - and has never been out before on UK DVD. Written and directed by Pulitzer Prize winner Sam Shepard, the film is a haunting Western about a plainsman who will do anything to help his son get over the death of his Native American wife and baby in childbirth. Also stars Dermot Mulroney, Richard Harris and Alan Bates.
