VHS Movie Reviews of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
Movie Review: The Perfect Western
Summary: 5 Stars
As a rule I'm not a western fan, but this movie has it all- comedy, romance, adventure, drama. If you're looking for an all around fun movie, try this one. John Wayne plays a very different role than usual, and gives the romantic lead to handsome John Agar and Harry Carey, Jr. It has poignant moments, great comedy lines, and an occassional moment when your eyes are moist. (On a side note, I love some of the character's names- Flint Cohill, Tyree, Brome Clay, to name a few.)
Summary of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
The second installment of John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy (which also includes Fort Apache and Rio Grande), this meditative Western continues the director's fascination with history's obliteration of the past. It features one of John Wayne's more sensitive performances as Capt. Nathan Brittles, a stern yet sentimental war horse who has difficulty preparing for his impending military retirement. All things considered, he refuses to leave before fulfilling his obligation to the local Indian tribe. It's a film about honor and duty as well as loneliness and mortality. And Oscar-winner Winton C. Hoch beautifully photographs it in Remington-like Technicolor tones (you've never seen such stunning cloud-covered skies). The combination of melancholy and farce (Victor McLaglen makes a perfect court jester) evokes comparisons to Shakespeare. Best of all, the scene in which Wayne fights back tears when receiving a gold watch from his troops is unforgettably bittersweet. If you view the whole trilogy, it actually makes sense to save this for last. --Bill DesowitzMilitary & War VHS Video
