Rio Grande

From: $5.94

The last and least memorable of John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy (following Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon), Rio Grande nonetheless has an interesting continuity about the gentlemanly rules of military conduct. Here the focus is on the family. While creating a heated controversy over his handling of the Apache war, John Wayne must also contend with disgruntled wife Maureen O'Hara and estranged son Claude Jarman Jr., a new recruit trying to earn his father's love and respect. Ford seems to suggest that there are two conflicting codes of honor in every cavalry officer's life, the personal as well as the professional, and that it takes an act of heroism to maintain both. It's fascinating to observe Wayne's progression throughout the trilogy, as his personal stakes intensify. Also, this is the first of five onscreen appearances between the Duke and O'Hara, each filled with a competitive spirit and stormy sexuality. --Bill Desowitz

Great Movie

Another one of my favorite movies with John Wayne and the whole John Ford crew.
The scene where Ben Johnson, Harry Carey Jr., and Claude Jarman Jr. ride two Horses Roman style (that's standing on the two horse's backs) was actually done by...

The third of the Ford / Wayne cavalry films. Wonderful story and great cast. ENJOY!

We are fortunate that this movie got made at all. John Ford had wanted to make "The Quiet Man" for years and every studio thought it would lose money. Herb Yates at Republic Pictures, who usually made low budget Westerns, agreed to produce that...

A Great John Wayne/John Ford Movie

Rio Grande is the final installment of John Ford's unintentional Calvary trilogy. It's a great, fun John Wayne film made in the days when stunts were done by people instead of computers and actors were allowed (requested) to do their own stunts....

A great director,a great cast, a great movie

Every one who knows the making of this movie knows it was made as part of the deal John ford made in order to get funding for The Quiet Man. That is true. That is also irrelevant. Whatever reason Mr Ford had for making a movie, he had an even...

A solid part of the "Cavalry Trilogy"

John Ford's so-called cavalry trilogy includes "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" (absolute classic), "Fort Apache" (a terrific movie in its own right), and "Rio Grande" (sometimes looked at as a lesser movie). However, "Rio Grande" holds up nicely on...
