Title: "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon"-1949
Post by: Captainkirk on February 06, 2024, 04:23:59 PM

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.

I've seen it a few times but haven't seen it in years. I've probably seen every western ever made.

A true classic, together with Fort Apache and Rio Grande. You can't beat the pairing of John Ford and John Wayne.
