Review of The Searchers (1956) by Scott D — 02 Mar 2009
A strong western directed by John Ford with truly beautiful scenery. John Wayne is effective in his role, which seems to fluctuate from gruff protagonist to hate-filled antagonist and back again by the scene.
The approach to racism is ahead of its time but way too much comic relief bogs things down at times. Recommended.
