Chris B @Papa13070 Jun 2 From John Ford comes a truly great western, and serves as a highlight for American cinema. Ford's direction is superb, his realisation of the life of the calvary is satisfyingly-rendered, and the story he tells is finely crafted. The script is intelligent and thought-provoking, and the scenery and cinematography are magnificent. The acting is absolutely wonderful too, Henry Fonda is especially outstanding in a difficult role and John Wayne gives one of his finest, more delicate performances(The Shootist also comes to mind) in this film too. The score is rich and somewhat grandiose, further adding to the elegiac tone of the film and superbly might I add. Overall, just a great western(one of the best of its genre actually) and a great film in general. See more John S @RT07700383 Mar 19 Great cast, great filming in Monument Valley, superb acting. One of Ford's very best. See more Neil P @RT30842889 Nov 29 Part of the classic Ford trilogy classic and its definitely a classic. John Wayne and Henry Fonda butt heads in a fort whilst dealing with Apaches.
