Movie Info

For a fee, hard-drinking Texas marshal Guthrie McCabe (James Stewart) agrees to help Army officer Jim Gary (Richard Widmark) search for a group of whites who were abducted years earlier by Comanche warriors. After rescuing two of the abductees, McCabe and Gary find that the former captives have fully adopted the culture of their American Indian captors and are barely recognizable. Cultures collide as they attempt to return the settlers to their original -- and now long-forgotten -- lives.

Though certainly not as piercing as some of his work with his male muse John Wayne, the film remains a solid entry into the nihilistic anti-heroic take on the western.

This is studio moviemaking at its slackest.

Ford may have made it for a quick buck—or perhaps as a favor to Columbia chief Harry Cohn—but the impact of the resulting film is far more that of a provocative drama than a tossed-off oater.

Ford fails to make his racism theme work in the same powerful way he did in The Searchers.

Audience Reviews for Two Rode Together

Apr 13, 2015

John Ford reboots The Searchers, this time dividing the action between Richard Widmark and Jimmy Stewart, two established commodities, instead of John Wayne and newbie Jeffrey Hunter. The result is more scattered but more of a buddy movie, which the two particulars achieve pretty well. Its engaging for that reason. Interestingly, Ford chooses black guy Woody Strode to play "the bad Indian". What the hell is that all about?

This is a western that stars James Stewart and Richard Widmark. Stewart is a sheriff who gets enlisted by the army to ask a tribe of Comanches about some hostages due to his past ties with the tribe. Of course Stewart's character is not all heart and wants to make a profit on this. This is a decent enough western. Stewart is great as usual in his role. His character was the best thing in the movie. Widmark was okay as well in this next to Stewart. The story is solid enough. I would not call this Stewart's best western. But if your a fan of westerns or are a James Stewart fan then give this film a chance.
