Editorial Review:
The second installment of John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy (which also includes Fort Apache and Rio Grande), this meditative Western continues the director's fascination with history's obliteration of the past. It features one of John Wayne's more sensitive performances as Capt. Nathan Brittles, a stern yet sentimental war horse who has difficulty preparing for his impending military retirement. All things considered, he refuses to leave before fulfilling his obligation to the local Indian tribe. It's a film about honor and duty as well as loneliness and mortality. And Oscar-winner Winton C. Hoch beautifully photographs it in Remington-like Technicolor tones (you've never seen such stunning cloud-covered skies). The combination of melancholy and farce (Victor McLaglen makes a perfect court jester) evokes comparisons to Shakespeare. Best of all, the scene in which Wayne fights back tears when receiving a gold watch from his troops is unforgettably bittersweet. If you view the whole trilogy, it actually makes sense to save this for last. --Bill Desowitz
A masterpiece of mood and heroics this second film in director John Ford's renowned cavalry trilogy (Fort Apache and Rio Grande are the others) features one of John Wayne's most moving performances as a cavalry officer in his final week of service on the frontier. Under makeup aging him some 20 years he inhabits the role of a wily veteran who knows the sting of war and vows to make his last mission one of peace. The ritual of outpost life the sweep of battle the advance of the patrol beneath ominous skies: She Wore a Yellow Ribbon an Academy Award winner* for its color cinematography paints a memorable portrait of the honor duty and courage in the finest tradition of the cavalry.

Rating:  - She wore a Yellow Ribbon
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. ... Read More
Rating: - Wayne-Ford fans
Being fans of John Wayne and John Ford and old enough to have seen most of their movies the first time around,we give them a very good rating. We have purchased many of the westerns that Wayne made. We like the simple plots of good over bad. A shame there is not more of these types of movies today.
Rating:  - A Page from the Indian Wars
This western hails from 1876. News of Custer's recent massacre has spread everywhere. The Indian tribes are emboldened and, forgetting old quarrels, are uniting with each other. If successful in their systematic attacks, it is said, no stagecoach will cross the west again for another hundred years.
Only the US Cavalry can save the day, and John Wayne plays a cavalry captain. Women wear yellow ribbons to honor their boyfriends in the cavalry. There are jealousies among the men, some of ... Read More

There is little that I can add about this world class western classic. One of John Wayne's best.
