Movie Reviews

Combustible Celluloid - 7/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonIt was Ford's first film in color and contains at least a handful of his most beautifully composed moments.
MovieMartyr.com - 7/10 by Jeremy HeilmanDuty leads to detachment, as is typical in Ford, and there are sterling examples here of resolute stoicism triumphing over hysteria.
User Review - 10/10 by Rebekah Pexcellent! my favorite Henry Fonda movie ever. they really improved on the book...an incredible story of common people who fought for their lives on the rough frontier in New York
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThe classic Revolutionary War movie... What a price they paid to be free...
User Review - 10/10 by Mark DI love Henry Fonda in this movie he was brilliant and so brave in the film!!!! :D
User Review - 10/10 by Samurai FSimple but excellent story about a community under attack.
User Review - 10/10 by a zI love the book and the movie. Us German Palitine Weavers are in it and Gen. Herkimer. Pluss places I reenact along the Mohawk Valley. Closest to history of the American Revolution War in New York.
User Review - 10/10 by Ashley HDrums Along the Mohawk is a stunning film. It is about a husband who takes his new wife to his farm in upstate New York. Claudette Colbert and Henry Fonda give excellent performances. The screenplay is well written. John Ford did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and romance. Drums Along the Mohawk is a must see.
User Review - 10/10 by James LThis has actually been on of my favorite films since I was a kid. While it may not be the masterpiece of one of the top five greatest Hollywood directors, I always found it entertaining. This film is not an historically accurate piece and is probably slow paced compared to films today. But it does introduce later generations to the frontier aspect of colonial America, that is so rarely portrayed. Many films and shows depict the cities and the generals. This film shows us the farms and the farmers. It also refuses to perpetuate the myth of the noble savage, so there's that.
User Review - 8/10 by Timothy JDrums Along the Mohawk produced by pioneer Darryl F. Zanuck, directed by John Ford (Stagecoach). Starring legendary Henry Fonda, legendary Claudette Colbert and Edna May Oliver (the standout in the film playing wealthy widow who owns vast farm), Ward Bond (The Searchers), Chief John Big Tree (the hilarious character - when all acted seriously), Russell Simpson. Film is based on the novel of same name by Walter D. Edmonds. This is first color film by John Ford, and so was for Claudette Colbert. Made over the budget of $2 million. Film was nominated for two Academy Awards, namely, Best Supporting Actress for Edna May Oliver, and Best Cinematography. Set in 1776 - during American Revolution on the Albany, New York frontier - Gilbert (Henry Fonda) and Lana (Claudette Colbert) are newlywed couple heading to start their new life at Deerfield at Mohawk Valley. But they are ambushed by Indians and British ; as their house is burnt to ashes. Fabulous photography as well as direction (John Ford) - Film begins mildly, and by caressing your brain with its simple and doable characters, all of whom gave their true dedication of acting (especially the Indian on-the-side-with-Americans / the priest / and other meadow-owners). I shall not tackle the matter of acting; as much as I would like to touch the subject of creating an atmosphere that was complete mastery - and all that credit goes to the crew involved in fabricating that small set-designing.
