Review of Rio Grande (1950) by Paul A — 11 Apr 2010
The final installment in John Ford's cavalry trilogy does not disappoint. Brilliantly and thoughtfully shot as ever by Ford and with many of the usual Ford faces in character roles, notably the irascible Victor McLaglen as Sgt-Major Quincannon.
Wayne and O'Hara have considerable on screen chemistry in their first film together and Ben Johnson virtually reprises his cheeky horseman role from She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, but his riding is amazing.
