A Worthy Component to the Wayne Trilogy of the US Calvary

Fort Apache She Wore a Yellow RibbonThe trilogy of films starring John Wayne about the US Calvary of the 19th century included "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon", "Fort Apache" and "Rio Grande". Only in Rio Grande he is teamed with Maureen O'Hara. Of course Victor McClagen appears in all three. Others...

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 them, not stuntmen! They just don't make them like that...

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 film if Ford would agree to do a Western with the...

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.Interestingly, the celebrated partnership of John...

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 greater reason for not wanting his name associated...

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 its own.The protagonist, York, has the same name as...

A Quite Musical Western

One characteristic of this old black-and-white flick is the singing of old folk songs by the men of the US Cavalry. There is also a display of various cavalry skills. For instance, the mounted men must jump over a 6-foot fence. Lt. Colonel Yorke (John Wayne) has his son in the cavalry unit, but...

Rio Grande: The start of a great pairing

Rio Grande was conceived as a movie to pay for the making of another film. John Ford wanted to make a little film called "The Quiet Man" but Columbia Studios wanted a quick money maker to pay for the next production. The result was "Rio Grande." A classic in its own right, one that should not...

The most sentimental of Ford's movies...

Ford's cavalry trilogy is, in its way, just as much Victor McLaglen's trilogy, for he appears once again in 'Rio Grande', still superbly filling the tough-soft sergeant part, still providing the Ford horse-play comedy element with just a touch of parody, still, one might add, probably fulfilling...
