An inflexible military man (Henry Fonda) clashes with wiser heads (John Wayne, mostly) on how to deal with Indians.

| Vintage John Ford western, with the usual ingredients: broad comedy, spectacular scenery, pioneering sentiment. Henry Fonda stars as a thinly disguised General Custer, John Wayne as his more level-headed junior officer. Shirley Temple is badly miscast as the love interest. This is the first of Ford's celebrated "cavalry trilogy", the other parts being She Wore A Yellow Ribbon and Rio Grande. |
