REVIEWS

Review by James A. Thompson (posted on 18-Jul-2007)

Not the best movie that John Wayne ever starred in but better than a number of them. The role that Joanne Dru palyed seemed to be out of place when analyzing the issues that were surrounding the Army in dealing with the historical fights with the Indians.

Review by Gagootz (posted on 26-Mar-2008)

This is one of the best, most evocative films I've ever seen, and I am not alone among my NY City buddies to have this opinion. It combines history, great casting, pathos, comedy, and some great lines ("Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness"). John Wayne was more nuanced in it than in most, if not all, of the films in which he starred.
