"A beautifully presented tale of love, honor and duty from a master film-maker (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)" | ||||
"In Ford’s superbly creative hands, it becomes perhaps the only avant-garde film ever made about the importance of tradition." | ||||
"Ford has superbly achieved a vast and composite illustration of all the legends of the frontier cavalryman" | ||||
"It looks amazing, and the complex treatment of the issues marks it out from the shoot-'em-up standards of the time" | ||||
"Like Ford's other large-scale, elegiac Westerns of this period, it's not a plain action movie but a pictorial film with slow spots and great set pieces." |
