She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

Screening on Film
Directed by John Ford.
With John Wayne, Joanne Dru, John Agar, Victor McLaglen.
US, 1949, 35mm, color, 103 min.

Ford’s most rousing cavalry saga, with military battles, roustabout low comedy by Ford’s stock company (Shakespeare did it, too!), and the sentimental retirement of tough career military man, Captain Nathan Brittles (Wayne, playing older than his real age). There is also the Academy Award-winning color cinematography of Winston Hoch, most famous for the scene with a wounded soldier being operated on during a Tintoretto-like lightning storm.
