Review of Rio Grande (1950) by Brian S — 22 May 2011
John Ford produced a great classic film from 1950 before he made "The Quiet Man" starring many of these cast members. The film takes place after the Civil War and the Union Troops decided to use their experience in the Army to fight the Nation of the Apache Indians and their uprising and killing of people.
Many of these Apache Tribes would run off into Mexico to hide because they knew that the Army Soldiers could not follow them over the border. John Wayne, (Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke) is a strict and excellent soldier who is well respected by this soldiers.
Kirby has not seen his wife and son in years and finds out that his son failed his math test at West Point and had enlisted in his company of troops. The plot thickens when his son comes face to face with his father and even more so when his wife, Mrs.
Kathleen Yorke, (Maureen O'Hara) visits her son and husband. Victor McLaglen and J. Carrol Naish both gave great supporting roles and made this into a great film Classic. Enjoy.
