"14.7. 2011 I'd say that "Fort Apache" is both the best and the only good film of John Ford's "Cavalry Trilogy". Just like "Rio Grande", also "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" is a dated and too slow-paced western with a pointless side plot that doesn't develop at all. Ford doesn't give viewers any reasons to care about the characters and also the battle scenes are lame. The last battle scene is ridiculous: It is a very short scene where the cavalry men just basically run through the Indian village and"

"May 18 This is perhaps the Duke’s most enjoyable role—he gruffs, shouts, charges, jokes, laughs, and even cries. And when you have Victor Maclaglen as a sidekick, you have a hell of a movie. Following Custer’s last stand, Captain Nathan Brittles (Wayne) leads his men on a final run against the Cheyenne Indians before finally retiring. Indians…Buffaloes…Stampedeng horses…Monument Valley…director John Huston got most of the West in one movie."

My Top 25 Favorite Westerns, Pard'ner (25 movies items)

"....around the old oak tree. If you'll notice, there's a lack of old skool westerns on this list. It's not because I have anything against any of the early B&W's or any the John Wayne classics. It's just that it's been such a long time since I watched any of them, that I can barely remember which ones, let alone how any of 'em would rank on my list. One of the few that I have watched recently is Yellow Ribbon, & that's why it's one of the oldies that managed to make a rare mark as one of my "

"....around the old oak tree. One of the things I noticed as I was making these lists of early cinema is that there aren't many of the old skool westerns on this list. It's not because I have anything against any of the early B&W gunslingers or any of the John Wayne classics. It's just that it's been such a long time since I watched any of them, that I can barely remember which ones, let alone how any of 'em would rank on my list.

"1948 was a turning point on Wayne's career. He made four films that year and each of em was pretty much defining performances on his career. Howard Hawks' Red River, two previous films with Ford and also Wake of the Red Witch, in which Wayne created a romantic side to his "John Wayne" character what it had been lacking still. So when we come to the early fifties and second installment of the Cavalry Trilogy comes out, people aren't going anymore to see John Ford western, they are going to see Jo"
