She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

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

An aging military captain toils to protect a group of damsels in distress from an impending Indian attack. Ford’s most rousing cavalry saga features military battles, roustabout low comedy from the director’s stock company, and the sentimental retirement of a tough career military man (played by Ford stalwart John Wayne).The Academy-Award–winning cinematography of Winston Hoch is most wonderfully realized in the Tintoretto-like lightning storm in which a wounded soldier is treated.
