Neil P Nov 29 Part of the classic Ford trilogy classic and its definitely a classic. John Wayne and Henry Fonda butt heads in a fort whilst dealing with Apaches.

The highlights are the epic cinematography with amazing sweeping shots with massive scope to them. The fight scenes are just as epic and incredibly well done. I do wish this was shot in color though to take advantage of the sweeping landscape but the black and white works good. The only issue is the wagon chase is ripped right out of Stagecoach almost to a T but incredible nonetheless. The music is also amazing and really fits the sweeping shots and is very memorable. Everything else is really well done also. The only real issues is that while it keeps interest the whole way but doesn't ramp things up with the Apache's looming and kind of goes along as if nothing is wrong. There isn't a sense of dread or urgency until the actual battles which do make up for it. Also, as the younger Lt. and Thursday's daughter are and well acted, they really could've been cut and helped trim the runtime down quite a bit. They have a good arch but this should've focused more on the rivalry and different schools of thought with Wayne vs Fonda's by the book leadership. I wish Fonda would've been a little less wooden at times also. I know he's being firm and stoic but it can come across wooden a lot of times. He's still good though. It still does a good job making all the characters likeable and staying focused enough but it just needed to move faster at times and build more tension both with the Apache threat and with Wayne/Fonda. Anyone who is a big fan of Ford, Westerns, or any actors in this will still like this a lot. See more Read all reviews
