MCT:June 24, 2008I've been trying to watch a lot of John Ford movies lately, he's an awesome director despite some political stupidity. This film is the third in the so called Cavalry trilogy, and I think clearly the worst of the three. This isn't the worst insult, in reality this isn't that bad, just very mediocre. The film takes way to long to get going, there's a lot of set up and it waste a lot of times with gratuitous singing by the soldiers. This isn't a musical but there are a lot of unnecessary scenes with the cavalry members singing as jolly unifying act. By the time the actual story finally kicked in the movie had already lost me. Minor Ford to be sure.

I agree with the info, of this being the least memorable. Its rather uneventful, and not as as satisfying as other westerns.

A decent although not amazing western from John Ford. I enjoyed the visual style, and also admired how he incorporated cultural aspects like the Indian dances and cavalry choir into the story. However, the film is lacking a spark of inspiration to elevate it beyond the merely good; it seems a bit dated and clunky.

Great epic battle with the Apaches in this John Ford classic and John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara are wonderful in their performance as the couple. Believe this is the last entry in director John Ford's celebrated cavalry trilogy (which also includes Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon).

MCT:January 7, 2008Rio Grande takes place after the Civil War when the Union turned their attention towards the Apaches. Union officer Kirby Yorke is in charge of an outpost on the Rio Grande in which he is in charge of training of new recruits one of which is his son whom he hasn't seen in 15 years. He whips him into shape to take on the Apaches but not before his mother shows up to take him out of there.The decision to leave is left up to Trooper Yorke who decides to stay and fight. Through it all Kirby and Kathleen though separated for years fall back into love and decide that it's time to give it another try. But Yorke faces his toughest battle when his unorthodox plan to outwit the elusive Apaches leads to possible court- martial. Locked in a bloody Indian war, he must fight to redeem his honor and save the love and lives of his broken family
