Movie Info
John Wayne stars as Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke, whose devotion to duty has cost him his marriage to his beloved Kathleen (Maureen O'Hara). Yorke gets word that his son, Jeff (Claude Jarman Jr.) -- whom he hasn't seen in 15 years -- has been dropped as a cadet from West Point, and that he lied about his age to enlist in the cavalry, in an effort to redeem himself. By chance, the boy is then assigned to his father's post. Once more, as a function of his duty as a cavalry officer, Yorke must sacrifice

Olive Films' barebones platter for the often overlooked third part of Ford's cavalry trilogy is an essential buy for fans of the director, despite a slapdash presentation.
I like it better than the problematic Fort Apache; it's far simpler and more effective.
In this Ford's Western, part of a trilogy that also includes She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Wayne gets to play the tough biological and sociological father of his recruits, which include his son.
A minor but enjoyable John Ford and John Wayne collaboration.
a cookie-cutter, spit-'em-out, assembly-line product
