| DVD Description John Ford's 1948 classic stars John Wayne as a Cavalry officer used to doing things a certain way out West at Fort Apache. Along comes a rigid, new commanding officer (Henry Fonda) who insists that everything on his watch be done by the book, including dealings with local Indians. The results are mixed: greater discipline at the fort, but increased hostilities with the natives. Ford deliberately leaves judgments about the wisdom of these changes ambiguous, but he also allows plenty of room in this wonderful film for the fullness of life among the soldiers and their families--community rituals, new romances--to blossom. Fonda, in an unusual role for him, is stern and formal as the new man in charge; Wayne is heroic as the rebellious second; Victor McLaglen provides comic relief; and Ward Bond is a paragon of sturdy and sentimental masculinity. All of this is set against the magnificent, poetic topography of Monument Valley. This is easily one of the greatest of American films. --Tom Keogh |

McQ Fort Apache is one of my husband's favorite movies, however, he is a huge fan of John Wayne, and loves watching many of them. He has a very large collection of them on VHS and now he is doing the same thing on DVDs.
We both love a mystery, and westerns. If there is a little romance in them to, that is a bonus. Fort Apache is a western and full of adventure and movement. And it also has romance.A very good movie.

Fort Apache What can I say, another John Wayne classic. You can't really go wrong wen you put Wayne and Fonda in a movie. Add in Shirley Temple and all is right with the world. A series of movies were made around this time with John Wayne either staring as a Colonel or Captain. They were all excellent rough riding, whoopin and hollin, Cavalry westerns made to entertain. Well worth the price and great for cold days at home when you just want to sit back and watch something entertaining with no real subplot to work out. It a must for your DVD library
chas a true classic
this was when they made enjoyable films |
