Review of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) by Madeline S — 19 Nov 2006
Great movie but there is a problem here but there is nothing new. A second rate [i]Fort Apache[/i] with less content. This movie survives as a further treat to true fans of this genre and nothing else.
Also, you can tell that John Wayne was not yet a master of the acting craft at this stage. He never was yet during the 40's and it shows here as he reles heavily on his incredible charm and grit. The direction and cinematography was good as well as the actors performances but problem here was script and screenplay.
The story was average. A good western but not a classic in my book. I love the scene with Wayne by his wife's gravesite though.
