A western meller done in the best John Ford manner.

A film of both elegiac sentiment and occasionally over-eloquent sentimentality.

Bulwarked with gay and spirited music and keyed to the colors of the plains, "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" is a dilly of a cavalry picture. Yeehooooo!

In She Wore a Yellow Ribbon [John Wayne] is nothing short of superb. It is a performance that should, in all right, be a challenger for the Academy award.

The film boasts one of Ford's more uncommon storylines and some of his boldest uses of color cinematography.

This earned an Oscar for Best Cinematography, though had a Best Makeup award existed back then, surely Don Cash would have been a contender for superb work that allowed a then-41-year-old Wayne to convincingly pass for someone a quarter-century older.

Audience Reviews for She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

Oct 27, 2011Beautifully filmed and featuring many great performances. This is one of the most entertaining of Ford's films. Also includes the greatest performance ever put in by Victor McLaglen in his reoccurring role as Sgt. Quincannon.Graham J Super Reviewer

Sep 06, 2010A great follow up to Fort Apache and probably the grandest in the whole trilogy. The use of color is almost jaw dropping at times and the way the west is captured is utterly flawless. John Wayne delivers one of his best performances out of so many great ones. Captain Brittles is probably one of the most noble and courageous characters, certainly in terms of military movies. John Ford's vision and storytelling is just unlike anything else and this is such a beautiful movie to experience.Conner R Super Reviewer

Aug 01, 2009John Ford's classic has lost a little of it's edge over the years, but it is no way a bad film. Quite the opposite.Tim S Super Reviewer

Mar 18, 2009Great western. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, is the 2nd of John Ford's cavalry trilogy. The Duke stars as Captain Nathan Brittles, who on the eve of retirement, takes out a last patrol to stop an impending massive Indian attack. Like most John Ford westerns, there is plenty of action, humor, and great performances. Ben Johnson and John Ager reprise their roles as cavalry soldiers, and Joanne Dru provides the eye candy. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is another Wayne/Ford classic that's not to be missed.Jonny C Super Reviewer
