She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (DVD) (Commemorative Amaray)

John Ford directed a trilogy of cavalry films from 1948 to 1950. This film, which is the only one of the set in Technicolor, is so delightful and exciting. John Wayne is supported by a very fine cast. The musical score features some classic cavalry songs wonderfully arranged for the film. The scenery, much of which was shot in scenic Monument Valley, is spectacular. It is a thoroughly enjoying film -- a classic western.

Great western movie. A classic.

Great Movie

This is another classic John Ford western that features the great landscape of Monument Valley and neighboring areas along with Ford and Wayne's stock troupe of actors. Familiar Ford faces include Ben Johnson, Victor McLaglen, and Harry Carey, Jr, along with George O'Brien (Fort Apache), Mildred Natwick (The Quiet Man), Arthur Shields (The Quiet Man), Joanne Dru (Red River) and John Agar (Fort Apache). Wayne plays a cavalry captain about to grudgingly start retirement with two young competitive Lieutenants under his wing as an Indian uprising starts up requiring him to take action in the field for the last time. Adding to the tension is Agar as a First Lieutenant Career officer and Carey as a second lieutenant and short timer vying for Joanne Dru. Wayne does a very good job playing a captain in his late 50's struggling with early morning arthritis and dealing with McLaglen chronic drinking issues (virtually in every film). McLaglen plays his typical hard nosed, free drinking Irishman that plays the good sergeant in spite of his vice and penchant for fisticuffs. Along with that is Ben Johnson playing the familiar Sergeant role with as his running stock answer when asked a question by Wayne "That's not my department". Within the regrets of retirement and internal command conflicts, Wayne must take the field but he is burdened by women from the Fort that suddenly require an evacuation ruining Wayne's field maneuvers and causing injury to a patrol he cannot met timely. The picture becomes exciting as Wayne under constant pressure from Indians who now have up to date rifles from the typically 40's 50's portrayed of a lowdown dirty rotten sutler (Ford rarely put any in good light, see Fort Apache) as Wayne must hold off pursuit, split his command and return the women safely back to the Fort. The excitement continues with a touch of sentimentality that although prevalent in the film since Wayne is also a widower, he loses command due to forced retirement but without authorization, he unofficially returns to the field to assist Agar who is in the midst of his first independent campaign. This is an excellent portrayal of army life and in particular the running joke about being promoted in the post Civil War army in "seven to ten years". Dru serves well as the privileged but hard nosed romantic interest and at times slows the action, she also contributes to what appears to be some pre-matrimony squabbling that is not only entertaining but adds to the inner conflict of the command. Natwick, O'Brian and Shield s play their parts fine as well as the Ford pictures made them all stars. The film also portrays the Indians in a positive light particularly showing their effective fighting methods, aversion to taking high casualties and the conflict between young and the old warriors. Collecting the trilogy is a must for all fans of Ford and Wayne.

The product was as promised, at the right price, on time...I enjoyed watching the movie

Great Movie to watch !! John Wayne movie are always Excellent to see !! Highly recommend!

Okay, after watching Fort Apache and enjoying it I had to continue with the second in the "cavalry trilogy" by director John Ford. I can not believe that I went and bought another fifties western with again John Wayne as the star. But I did, and I think I am becoming addicted to these slow paced movies with "heroes" who have strong character and strong morals. These horse soldiers of the past led a lonely and dangerous life and they are no longer portrayed in the movies of today. The location where the movie was filmed is a lonely place but has a stark beauty that comes across in the movie and grabs you. Especially the scenes of the clouds and sky. Reminded me of the saying: "Big Sky Country". Again the Native Americans were portrayed "fifties style" compared to a modern movie such as "Dances With Wolves", however, for the time frame of the movie the portrayal was not bad. I enjoyed the movie and John Wayne's portrayal as an aging cavalry officer who is due to retire but enjoys the life he leads very much, and I found his character very believable. The story is simply told, but there is a story. This is sometimes lacking in today's movies. The music and the songs added to the pleasure of the movie. You should give this movie a chance, although more simplistic than the movies of today it is very enjoyable. It is a true classic!

Older movie, but the story is always great to watch. Good for the whole family. Amazing number of actors who were famous then and after.

Einer der besten western

Seen as a TV movie but as the resepation was so bad just had to order it to rewatch not disappointed-It's a very good movie-Plenty of Indian fighting against the cavalry.

このレビューは輸入盤ワーナーブラザースのブルーレイのレビューです。 この映画に関しては、多くの方がレビューしているので、私ごときが多くを語る必要がありませんね！ そこで画質に拘ってレビューしたいと思います。 この作品はビデオ、レーザーディスク、ＤＶＤそしてニューマスター版ＤＶＤと購入し続けてきましたが、輸入盤のこのワーナー版はそれらのどのソフトにもなかった画質のシャープさが感じられるほど綺麗です。 それまでのソフトの画質は、すべてボケたような感じのシャープさが欠けた画質でした。 また色の発色も良く、そして画角も良いです。 この場合の画角とは、スタンダードサイズでも画面をトリミングしてソフト化する場合の画面情報量がきわめて多いと言うことです。 オープニングのタイトルシーンを見てもその差は歴然です。 左端に金色の紐そして更に左側には赤いバックの部分がハッキリ見えています。 赤いバックの部分は全体的に均等な幅で収録されていることから画角に関してもかなり良好だと言えるでしょう。 字幕はなくても、これだけで買う価値のある逸品だと思います。 また、フィルム・グレイン（フィルムの粒子）もあまり目立たない上に、フィルムのキズなども殆ど見られません。 かなりのレストアが施されていると考えられます。 日本盤の 黄色いリボン THE RKO COLLECTION［Blu-ray］と比較してもその差は歴然です。 日本盤のブルーレイもＤＶＤに比べるとかなり画質は良くなっていますが、やはりイマイチ感が拭えません。 この映画のファンならば、手に入れられるうちに購入しておくべき１枚だと思います。 買わないと，きっと後悔するに違いありません。 あくまでも個人の見解ですが････。 あえて悪いところを言うならば、輸入盤と言うこともあり、注文から届くまでに時間がかかるのが難点ですね。 私の場合、予定配達日より８日間もオーバーして届きました。 出品業者が悪い訳ではなく、購入したのがクリスマス・シーズン直前と言うことと年末と言うことで運輸機関の混雑の問題だと思います。 以前買ったときは予定日の初日に届いたこともあります。 と言うことで問答無用の星５つとなりました。 大画面で見たときのこの映画の美しさ（綺麗な画質）を体感出来たのは，私の人生の中で素晴らしい体験となりました。

Region ONE BluRAY and what a marvellous picture we get. Fo probably nearly 70 years this has been an all time favourite of mine. From very early B/W TV showings, to Video, DVD and now the ultimate - BLURAY. Excellent picture sound and optional English subtitles. From the opening scenes including Ben and Cliff Lyons riding hell for leather after the army mail coach, to the almost final scenes in the Indian camp ("Ever been scared sergeant??? Yes sir - Up to and including now", the film is full of Ford and his company including very importantly - the writers, at their very best. Realistic? Who catres? I don't. I am 79 now and still get so emotional every time I see this wonderful film. Not my finest review, but I hope it helps. (P.S. How great to see Harry Woods, Paul Fix, Fred Graham, Mickey Simpson, Tom Tyler and the lovely ladies Dru and Natwick)
