Two rode together is a thoughtful film. It shows the American Indian in good light, has things to say to us today on how we treat people.
James Stewart is his useful outstanding best. The friendship between Richard Whitmark and James Stewart in real life comes through in this film. Their joint work is super. Tends to become a little slow towards the end so 3 stars.

Disappointing, sub-standard, John Ford Western. Pseudo "The Searchers" but minus John Wayne
28 July 2007
Format:DVD
TWO RODE TOGETHER (1961): A band of settlers put pressure on the US Army to repatriate their children caught by the Comanche Indians seven years earlier. In turn cavalry fort commander Major Frazer (James McIntire) puts pressure on a reluctant Marshal Guthrie McCabe (James Stewart) and Lieutenant Jim Gary (Richard Widmark) to saddle up and go in search of the white captives held by the feared Comanche Chief Quanah Parker (Henry Brandon). The two negotiate the return Running Wolf (David Kent) and Elana de la Madriaga (Linda Cristal) with mixed results.
Brandon also played the Comanche Chief Scar in THE SEARCHERS (1956) also carried over from that film are Ford favourites mother and son Olive Carey and Harry Carey Jn, Ken Curtis and John Qualen. Also in common with the earlier film was the scriptwriter Frank Nugent. John Ford is said to have made the film as a casual favour to Columbia's boss Harry Cohen. Of the two leads James Stewart plays a (unusually for him) cynical and ruthless character whilst Richard Widmark (who can play good guy or bad with equal aplomb) has the sympathetic sidekick role. Shirley Jones provides the main love interest. Although there are one or two nice touches of the Master at work in my opinion Ford was well-wide of the mark with this one; thankfully he is back on top form next time also with Jimmy Stewart and John Qualen but with the added bonus of John Wayne in THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE (1962).
A 2005 DVD Columbia film released through SONY Pictures Home Entertainment Optional sub-titles and scene selection, no Theatrical Trailer or other extras, but does it matter?

Two Rode Together is a very enjoyable film, mainly due to the script and excellent casting. It's not an action packed Western, it's more concerned with characters and decicions. Richard Widmark and James Stewart are outstanding leads and spark off each other brilliantly. James Stewart plays quite an unlikeable and selfish man but you still are intrigued as to what he'll do and say next. The supporting cast is also excellent. My only complaint would be the film could easily have been 10 or 15 minutes longer. I would have liked the scenes when Widmark and Stewart first go off together on their mission to have been extended. Watching just these two on the screen maybe with some more humour between the old friends and some more build up of tension would have made the film even better. I suppose I feel like the film had a great begining and end, but could have done with a bit more filling in the middle. These two lead actors certainly could have kept us entertained.
The DVD picture and sound is excellent and in Widescreen.

Ford's worst Western
John Ford didn't even like this film. He made it as a favour for the late Harry Cohn at Columbia Studios. To Ford it was just crap. Read more
