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

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is a 1949 western film directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne. The film was the second of Ford's trilogy of films focusing on the US Cavalry, the other two films being Fort Apache (1948) and Rio Grande (1950). With a budget of $1.6 million, the film was one of the most expensive westerns of the time, but became a major hit for RKO and remains a popular classic today.

As a rule I'm not a western fan, but this movie has it all- comedy, romance, adventure, drama. If you're looking for an all around fun movie, try this one. John Wayne plays a very different role than usual, and gives the romantic lead to handsome John Agar and Harry Carey, Jr. It has poignant moments, great comedy lines, and an occassional moment when your eyes are moist. (On a side note, I love some of the character's names- Flint Cohill, Tyree, Brome Clay, to name a few.)

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

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.

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
