Funny and so much moreOld School Wayne fan 01/04/2010 
  I have seen this movie several times. It has it's moments. In this movie he falls head over heals in love with a former rich girl who is going west with her younger brother and sister. She has no interest in him and is drawn to a handsome scoundel. There are many funny character in this movie. My favs are Gus the Swede, his Mother in law and Zeke John's best friend. There is more than one bad guy in this movie and they are up to no good. John must lead the wagon train to safety and catch the killers, without being killed himself. As well as win over the girl.

A Wonderful family movieOld School Wayne fan 01/04/2010 
  Once again John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara make magic on the screen with this movie. He goes back home to Ireland after he kills a man in the ring. with guilt in his heart he only wants to live a quiet life.
He sees a Beautiful red headed lass Maureen. Unaware of the differences in courting a woman over there he thinks he can just win her over and they can be married.
With her brother Victor McLaglen angry at John Wayne for buying back the land that his family had always owned there is no way he will let John Wayne marry his only sister.
Well made, beautiful sceenery in Ireland, Great characters and so much more. Worth seeing over and over again. My kids love this movie as much as I do.

Among the most complex Ford westerns, if not the best1fatts 03/14/2007 
  Anyone who knows American movies knows this one. I don't think it is more quintessentially "American" than the Ford Cavalry Trilogy, but there is an edge to it which sets it apart. There is an emptiness in John Wayne's Ethan Edwards that marks him and separates him so fundamentally from everything around him that we are limited in our sympathy for him and find it only appropriate that he both begins and ends the film as the outsider and perhaps the outcast.
The movie is not without flaws. Structurally, we never see what it is that changes Ethan's intention to kill Debbie and, therefore, while we are willing to accept it emotionally, it doesn't really work in terms of the plot setup.
More seriously, the whole film sets us up for a confrontation between Edwards and Scar, and, in the end, we don't get that confrontation. That is a significant weakness.
But it is a great western. Monument Valley has rarely been used to better effect. Ford's stock company all acquit themselves well, and we have a chance to appreciate John Wayne in a more complex role than we usually get to see him.

  This is a good war film about American PT Boat crews battling the Japanese in the Pacific. Lt.

The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor, and many U.S. ships are out of commission. The assignment of Brickley's PT Boats is to run messages, but they do manage to shoot down three Japanese planes. Fed up with message-running assignments, Brickley's executive officer Lt. Rusty Ryan (John Wayne) asks for a transfer to destroyer duties. This story does not glorify war; instead, it tells it like it is–warts and all. Vintage John Ford.    1 User Review
