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.

Classic Western with glorious color, great story telling and an anti-war point of view.

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.

A western meller done in the best John Ford manner.

Definitely in top five of all-time Ford/Wayne westerns. Gorgeous color too.

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

John Wayne, John Ford, and Monument Valley in glorious color. What more can you ask for in a western?

Graceful direction by Ford.

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!

Splendid John Ford Western; Wayne is great, scenery fantastic. A must-see for any film buff.
