Amazon.co.uk Review
The second instalment of John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy, this meditative Western continues the director's fascination with history's obliteration of the past. It features one of John Wayne's more sensitive performances as Capt. Nathan Brittles, a stern yet sentimental war horse who has difficulty preparing for his impending military retirement. All things considered, he refuses to leave before fulfilling his obligation to the local Indian tribe. It's a film about honour and duty as well as loneliness and mortality. And Oscar-winner Winton C. Hoch beautifully photographs it in Remington-like Technicolor tones (you've never seen such stunning cloud-covered skies). The combination of melancholy and farce (Victor McLaglen makes a perfect court jester) evokes comparisons to Shakespeare. Best of all, the scene in which Wayne fights back tears when receiving a gold watch from his troops is unforgettably bittersweet. If you view the whole trilogy, it actually makes sense to save this for last. --Bill Desowitz, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A great classic western., 21 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: She Wore A Yellow Ribbon [VHS] [1950] (VHS Tape)
Centring on the events surrounding the retirement of Captain Nathan Brittles (John Wayne).Within the fort the vaeious relationships provide A perfect balance of quiet drama and light hearted humour. Rebellious Indians outside the fort give worthwhile action drama. Add to this the spectacular scenery of Monument Valley and you could not ask for more. First released in 1949 is proof of it's durability as a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars one for the ages, 4 May 2007
By Gavin T. Smith (Somerset) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
John Ford can be taken to task for his sentimentalization of male violence (usually involving Victor McLaglen thumping people), and for his representation of native Americans (forever the "Other"), but he also abides as one of cinema's greatest visual poets - a master of deep composition, and of kinetic marvels - has anyone ever filmed horses at full gallop so wonderfully well? Only Kurosawa, Ford's sole rival in portraying lyrical action. This film is full of beauty and excitment and has some stirring music too; the use of a voice-over dates it a little, and it doesn't quite have a clean finish, but the visuals are awesome, and John Wayne is superb. If you love cinema, you'll surely love this.
