One of the lesser-known 'Duke' classics...John Wayne is at the top of his game in this post-ACW classic about an Army lifer nearing retirement. You can really tell the director (John Ford) cared about the story and imagery, compared to a lot of the serialized brain-dead crap that came out around that time. The cinematography and scenic landscape shots were really impressive, shot in Technicolor. If you're a Duke fan, and haven't seen this film, you're missing something.
