Review of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) by Grayson D — 27 Dec 2010
It's pretty hard not to like Yellow Ribbon, although it's basically 'Fort Apache' with an older Duke and a love interest. The 'second' instalment in the Calvary Trilogy is much more patriotic than the first (if that's possible.
..). Well, chalk up the overt patriotism to the voice-over. Also, there is much more humor in Ribbon, as the Duke is older and more 'loveable,' while his second in command is just as charming as The Duke.
That's it!! The Duke makes this film enjoyable through his charm. I mean, honestly, the film's been done to death:, "After the Civil War, the war continued for the Union against the Savages to form the greatest country in the world.
...blahhh." You're here to watch The Duke and Ford's photography. What's wrong with that? It's better than 90% of anything else out there. Simple.
