John Wayne's name drew us to this movie. If he was not in it we would not have enjoyed it too well. He pretty much saved the day just being in the movie. It was not as great a story as so many of his others. Nice Family movie, no foul language, no obscenity.

I have never been into Classic Westerns or John Wayne for that matter.
However, one day when I was feeling lazy and feeling like a "couch potato" I found this movie on television.
I figured it would hold my interest for a few minutes but I was wrong! First off the music caught my ear and the words to the songs became stuck in my head! Pleasantly so though.
With being used to modern, action packed and special effect loaded movies of today, which I love and go to see often, I was entertained by the simplicity of the movie. The story line was simple with clear cut "good vs bad" and strong characters who wanted to do the right thing.
The movie was filmed in the west and the outdoor scenes were very good. I thought the Native American portrayal was not that bad considering the time period the movie was made.
John Wayne surprised me as I found his acting to be good and of course Henry Fonda is a classic actor. So, I watched the entire movie and I enjoyed it, I did not get bored, and I ended up buying a copy for myself!
So, if you like the "old west" give this fifties movie a chance.

This is the first film which uses the US Cavalry as the background/set (as much as Monumental Valley) for telling us a typical John Ford story, there are the values of decency and common sense and the very important sense of humor in one side and bigotry and stupidity in the other... and that on the same side (meaning life in the regiment which is a metaphor of a rigid society)... confronted against the Indians who as usual in early Ford films just plays the danger OUTSIDE...
Filmed in black&white in the exceptional way of the master it has passed with honors the terrible true test of time and has become a classic.
The script is what you can expect, but mainly is a confrontation between the martinet colonel (from the East) played convincingly by Henry Fonda and the professional (in the West) played by an excellent John Wayne, add the usual love affair, the funny Irish sergeant tricks (read Victor McLaglen) etc.
John Ford will go on and do "SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON" in Technicolor (probably the best one of the so called "trilogy", and then "RIO GRANDE" again in black&white (this one as a compromise to raise money for the shooting of "THE QUIET MAN") with the benefit of Maureen O'Hara but probably the most inane of the three... if you add "THE HORSE SOLDIERS" (ACW), "SERGEANT RUTLEDGE" (buffalo soldiers) and "CHEYENNE AUTUMN" (crepuscular movie in defense of the indian natives)... it would eventually make six excellent films (plus the scenes where the cavalry appears in "STAGECOACH", "THE SEARCHERS" and "TWO RODE TOGETHER"...
If ever the US Cavalry needed a recruiting manager John Ford WAS AND IS IT (quite contradictory for a navy honorary admiral!).
ALL RECOMMENDED

This is a great classic movie where the hero (John Wayne) struggles with what he knows is right and what he is ordered to do. Shirley Temple plays a spoiled daughter who falls in love for the first time against her parent's wishes, but love and duty both triumph in the end.
