Cheyenne Autumn is a beautiful title to grace John Ford's final Western, an earnest attempt at long last to "tell the story from the Indians' point of view." The film has moments of grandeur, thanks especially to William H. Clothier's majestic Technicolor compositions--restored to their proper Panavision dimensions on the DVD release--and moments of graceful action thanks to that peerless horseman, Ben Johnson. In other respects, the film falls short of the occasion. Ford is unambiguously supportive of the Cheyennes' resolve to bolt their assigned reservation in the desert Southwest and trek north to their ancestral lands. By emphatic contrast, most of white society, the military, the bureaucracy, and the sensationalist press are portrayed as insensitive, foolish, or downright hateful. Unfortunately, the Cheyenne are nobly wooden and, apart from some Navajo extras, played by non-Indians: Ricardo Montalban, Gilbert Roland, Sal Mineo, Victor Jory (who's pretty magnificent, actually), and Dolores Del Rio (who's breathtakingly beautiful as ever). As for point of view, it's sympathetic cavalry officer Richard Widmark and Quaker missionary Carroll Baker through whose eyes most of the epic narrative unfolds. A scabrous Dodge City interlude in midfilm, featuring James Stewart as a thoroughly disreputable Wyatt Earp (as opposed to the noble figure Henry Fonda played in My Darling Clementine), was chopped in half after the New York roadshow opening in 1964; it's all there on the DVD. Add to the list of sympathetic whites U.S. Secretary of the Interior Carl Schurz, played by Edward G. Robinson, who replaced an ailing Spencer Tracy. --Richard T. Jameson

The put-downs in another review prompted me to do my own. Cheyenne Autumn tells of the departure of the surviving Cheyennes from "Indian Territory" in Oklahoma (not yet a state at the time) to trek 1,500 miles to their old homeland -- the movie is beautiful visually, profound in its themes [you have to think about them yourself, this is not philosophical discourse -- but it is a MOVIE, after all] One reviewer noted as a negative the "grumpy mad elder cheif who dies passing cheifhood ...

Common wisdom has it that Cheyenne Autumn is a well-intentioned failure, and while his last Western is certainly far from John Ford's best, it is one of those films that becomes more impressive on repeated viewings. Although seen by many as an apologist epic made as an act of contrition by Ford for so many decades of stereotyping Native Americans, he always denied this, and it has to be said that, Two Rode Together apart, his Westerns generally had a more respect for the various tribes than his contemporaries. ...

veteran western director john ford has killed hundreds of indians in his stories over the golden days of hollywood westerns, so maybe it was fitting that he should be the one lamenting at the passing of one of the proudest tribes in western history. CHEYENNE AUTUMN (Warner Bros) is the actual story of the long, hard trek of the Cheyenne people to what they were told was a better life. The story stars the ever dependable Richard Widmark as the sympathetic cavalry officer who is assigned to oversee the journey. He ... Read More

First saw this great classic during my childhood years at the Drive-In in South Texas back in the 60's, and ever since then i've regarded this film as one of the greatest Indian classic movies. The cast for this epic, to include the supporting cast of the Navajo Indian Nation really delivers 5 stars. It also serves as a History lesson on Indian injustices committed by men who believed in the great manifest destiney, but also men who saw and tried to correct the wrong committed against Native Americans.

This is a grand sentimental epic that no doubt tries the patience of know-it-alls who want their liberal heart strings pulled with historically accurate depictions of suffering. John Ford, a myth-maker, was not the man for the job, but this fictionalized account accomplishes what many if not most documentaries would have failed at, namely, initiating the revision of white America's image of itself as a good people. Here we see what by now is part of every school teacher's curriculum, but 30 years ago, this was a ... Read More
