Rio Grande (DVD, 1999, B & W 45th Anniversary Edition)

This is a great movie starring the great John Wayne. Directed by John Ford a sure winner with any Wayne fan. Packed with action romance and suspense I was very satisfied with the movie. Also its a must for any John Wayne fan to add to his or her collection.

Eexcellent movie glade to have it as part on my John Wayne Collection ONLY WISH THAT IT CAME IN ORIG. BOX

This John Ford movie along with (She were a yellow ribbon and Fort Appache) makes space to other actors than John Wayne. Victor M
McGlagen always the funniest as the Irish-alcoholic Undiscipline but sensible soldier. Maureen O'Hara more beautiful than ever in the role of the wife of Kirby Yorke (John Wayne) struggling betwin the life of a rancher and the life of a Cavalry's wife. Most incredible part is the authenticity of the Indian characters(which I will remark, at that time, they took irish actor and painted them), not to mention the incredible outdoors which were even more increadible in his first technicolor movie. And let's not forget the songs which are really beautiful and had a really great asset of the whole movie.

The story is Kirby Yorke's son who had not seen in 15 years engage in the Cavalry as a trooper after failing mathematic in West Point. Kirby doesn't like the idea and his wife neither. She comes in the camp and tries to convince her son who refuse. While the Apache are more united than never, they do a huge raid on the camp to send a message by arsoning and rioting the Americans: We will not surrender. A large rallye is organized to counter those repetitive attacks on the Orders of General Sheridian.

i collect John Wayne movies, i did not have this one. some of jis movies are hard to find. so i check ebay to the one's i needed.

I bought it because I was brought up watching the Fabulous 52. And because I was brought up to love the music of The Sons of The Pioneers. From beginning to end, this is a movie that grabs you. Witnessing the love of the parents for their child; the rebellion of their young son, the troubled relationship between his parents. And during all that, watching that young man learning so much from his soldier buddies and teaching his parents to be proud of him. And the parents, finally finding love for each other once again, after so much trouble. You have to watch the movie to appreciate it. Listen up, this is a great movie. Music, drama, love and hate and violence. It has it all. It the best.
