A film more notable for its gorgeous cinematography than for its plot.
The second of John Ford's cavalry trilogy is well acted by John Wayne and well shot by Winton C. Hoch, who an Oscar for color cinematography.
First and most obviously one of the most flat-out gorgeous movies ever filmed.
an old man's movie shot with a young man's energy and gusto.
Definitely in top five of all-time Ford/Wayne westerns. Gorgeous color too.
Some of the most touching scenes describe the ceremonies in which tradition is transmitted from the older to the younger generation. When John Wayne gets a silver watch as a present, he sniffs a tear and reads the inscription, Lest We Forget!
John Wayne, John Ford, and Monument Valley in glorious color. What more can you ask for in a western?
Splendid John Ford Western; Wayne is great, scenery fantastic. A must-see for any film buff.
Graceful direction by Ford.
