| Radio TimesTony SlomanOne of the highlights of American cinema. |
| Houston Community NewspapersGary BrownHenry Fonda's stubborness reminds me of our occupant in the White House with his Iraq policy. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumOne of John Ford's cavalry trilogy, and a near classic on its own. Wayne and Fonda are fine. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe nonlinear narrative, with its infinite digressions and asides, is designed less to tell a story than to present a world-a world dense in physical detail and fraught with moral challenges. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's an odd film, consisting more of sidetracks than of an actual story, but it showed a new restlessness in Ford. |
| User ReviewDavid DAs with any Fonda, Wayne, Mclaglen, or Ward Bond western they are entertaining; whether the dialog, or plot are Academy Award level or not. Must see and Waynes buddy that played Mose in The Searchers. |
| User ReviewGrant SWhat a film! Henry Fonda plays a very ambitious new commander who butts heads with a lower-level officer played by John Wayne, who nevertheless obeys his commander (along with the other men). The film is quite anti-war and is shockingly relevant even today. It's also surprisingly funny in parts too. Fonda and Wayne are terrific. And Shirley Temple's in it too in one of her last roles. John Ford's direction is brilliant. |

| User ReviewChris KClassic Ford western with Wayne in a surprisingly small role considering his top billing - leaving the larger, yet more unsympathetic role to Fonda who is brilliantly despisable. Was also surprised to see a more mature, and gorgeous, Shirley Temple as John Agar's love interest. Beautiful cinematography of Monument Valley and some great comic moments with the Cavalry sergeants, led by the irrepresible Victor McLaglen make this a memorable movie. |
| User ReviewScott WJohn Ford's brilliant, heart warming ode to the U.S Cavalry is a delightful movie, full of richly drawn characters, authentic detailing and beautiful photography. The story is a little like a microcosm of the entire U.S Cavalry experience as the West was tamed in the C19th and so ranges from the twee romance of frontier life to the cruelty, greed and hardships of military life. The Apaches are dealt with sympathetically whilst it is the punctilious Colonel Owen Thursday, brilliantly portrayed with complexity by Henry Fonda, who is seen to be the bombastic, inexperienced fool who ultimately brings destruction on his regiment. The cast are simply wonderful; John Wayne has a restrained role as an experienced officer, forced to follow the foolish orders of his ignorant colonel. Others include the excellent Ward Bond, Victor McLaglen, George O'Brien, Pedro Amendirez and many other of Ford's favourites who would work with him and Wayne for many more films to come. Shirley Temple and John Agar offer a romantic interlude. A tremendous piece of film making. |
