Hey, it's the Duke!!!!
Good old fashion fun movie. Never gets old, never fails to entertain!! A definite winner!

Classic John Wayne
John Wayne plays LTC Kirby York, a character he reprises in Fort Apache. York in assigned to patrol somewhere in the New Mexico Territories shortly following the War of Yankee Aggression. There, he is joined by his estranged son who has flunked out of West Point and is serving his obligation out as an enlisted Soldier. His son is joined there by Maureen O'Hara who plays a Southern Belle who's home and wealth was destroyed by her husband during the war. The chemistry between Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne, who still loves his wife, provides interesting interplay that is believable and one of many sub-plots to the film. The movie has John Wayne's usual ensemble cast, was directed by John Ford and while lacking the spectacular scenery of later Ford movies does not detract from the drama, the characters, and the human story that draws one in. This is a story about duty, honor and how both are not always the easiest paths to follow and often can come into conflict with other human virtues, such as love.

John Ford's Calvary Trilogy
Rio Grande is the last part of John Ford's Calvary Trilogy. John Wayne stars as a Calvary Officer whose wife, (Maureen O'Hara), shows up at his command as does his grown son. Mother wants son discharged, son wants to stay, and Lt. Col. Yorke, (Wayne), is just trying to hold up. There is action and adventure all through the movie and some of the greatest vistas in all of Hollywood.

The first two movies are Fort Apache, and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. These are equally great movies. I highly recommend getting all three classic films. You won't regret it.

Big John at his best
Big John's movies when directed by John Ford, take on a life of their own..The combination was dead on, no matter which movie...

A Masterpiece
One of the greatest of all Westerns, and one of the greatest of all American movies. It's apparent simplicity reveals layer upon layer of meaning with multiple viewings. Terrific transfer on this DVD, with a wonderful commentary by Maureen O'Hara.
