I’m nearly 79 and like you folks just love this movie. It’s wonderful old time where movies were a joy to watch with top actors, photography and music. This movie became the continual Saturday afternoon T.V. broadcast in the 60’s promoting color T.V.sets. They were so new.. and this film was chosen because of its dynamics. How’s that for trivia..🥰
John Wayne dodged the draft. Look it up. Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable, Henry Fonda - all served. Wayne decided to stay home and act brave in war movies. Used to get into fights with "real" servicemen who challenged him on it. Disgrace
One of my favorite classics from a different era. I highly recommend this masterpiece to newer generations, to appreciate the cinematography, the casting, outstanding horsemanship, and so much more! Also no CGI and crazy special effects. I never tire of rewatching this epic movie and so many others like it.
John Wayne as Nathan Brittles, a man on one last mission before retirement, is definitely one of his best characters and performances. Seeing him deal with the conflict of evacuating a group out of a war zone while trying to prevent a second conflict between two parties makes for a great, nuanced Western. She Wore A Yellow Ribbon is the second of John Ford's Cavalry Trilogy, which also includes Fort Apache (1948) and Rio Grande (1950). All 3 of them are fantastic and worth watching, in my opinion.
"Nuanced" is a perfect way to describe "The Cavalry Trilogy". One example is when Duke, (Ben)Johnson and Dobe (Carey) sneak up to watch the Indians meet with the rifle smuggler who gets tossed into the fire and Roasted, by the Indians when he tries to Overcharge them......Duke takes a "Chaw" out and offers it around, Johnson refuses, and so does Dobe, but Duke, knowing what's about to be seen, by the Green Horn Pennell(Dobe), tells a short story about "Chawers" often becoming Nauseated by the Tobacco(Offering Dobe's Character, Lt Pennell, an Excuse, which he understands and asks for "A Chaw", accepting the Face Saving Excuse, Him being shortly, to "Lose His Lunch" at the sight of a man being Roasted Alive, allowing him to keep his "Dignity" by blaming it on the "Tabakker Juice" some of which is always swallowed, even by experienced Tobacco Chewers, who don't usually Hurl, being used to the Vile Stuff(During my Rodeoing days, in my Misspent Youth, I chewed, because I had the Nicotine Addiction, but being up on some Rank Bull, or a Horse witha bad attitude, was No Place to go to messing about with Cigarettes, lighters and such. It was a lot safer to "keep a Chaw In Yer Cheek", and a whole lot less disconcerting to a Green or Fractious Horse, than all the Paper Rustling, Lighter Clicking of Making and firing up a smoke. I saw a good friend and accomplished Hand, Unassed in the middle of a river crossing, because the Green Broke horse he was forking, got skittish when he started digging around for his "Makings" & Matches(Lesson Learned, Just Chew to feed the habit til both feet are on firm Ground, also why I kept a square of Bull O The Woods, or a pouch of Red Man, in my Kit at all times)....These Films are, showing Ford's Genius for telling "Nuanced" Stories to their Fullest & taking us all along for the ride, in a way that we don't end up Missing Much of "what" and "who" as well as "How" Ford Wanted Us to See and understand it all. IMHO
Ben Johnson brilliant in all his films..Always a awesome pair he and John Wayne..You always knew it would be a great film with those 2 wonderful men ..May they forever RIP...
My wife and I made a trip to Monument Valley a few years ago! Ford's use of that area was fantastic! Seeing it in person was one of the greatest experiences of my life!
Well, I flew a Piper J-3 Cub through that part of the country. It was one of the most enjoyable bits of flying in my 47 years as a career professional pilot.
"My mother didn't raise any sons to be making guesses in front of Yankee Captains." Tyree, one of John Ford's better characters. Ben Johnson was iconic as the NCO with brains.
Wow I didn’t know Ben Johnson was inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame that’s awesome and to me he was a great actor and I always loved it when I saw him in a movie and really to me he was the best
Johnson took a break from Movie making and went a Rodeoing, coming back to Hollyweird with a World's Championship Team Roping Buckle, in 1953. He was the only Actor to win both, at the time, and still is seeing the current state of The Movie Bidness, where Modern Day "Actors" use a Stunt Double to Take A Leak
@@Melissa-pt2ik Ben was The Gold Plated, Real Deal, As A Cowboy. Raised and working on a ranch his father managed, from Childhood, until he took a load of Horses to Hollywood on his Father's orders, and went from $18.00 A Month to $500.00 A week in Hollywood, simply because, if it could be done from Horseback, Preferably At A Full Gallop, or Flat Out Run, Ben Could Do It, and Not Blink An Eye. His Horsemanship Ability, can easily be seen in the Cavalry Trilogy, especially the Second, "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, and the 3rd & last, "Rio Grande". The man could "handle" a Horse like it was a part of him and you could only very rarely see a gap between Ben and the Saddle thicker than a knife blade. To say that "Ben Johnson Could Cowboy", was damned near an Understatement. He was Just That Good! Also from all indications Ben Johnson was just a Nice Man, and also, a Man Who, "didn't suffer Fools gladly"
@@jamesbutler8821 you apparently have no clue about military life. It’s about leadership and gaining the respect of soldiers you command in battle. You will never get it if you are a brainwashed leftist stooge. It’s not personal advice.
I have always liked CPT Brittles rapport with SGT Tyree. SGT Tyree was a former CPT of Cavalry in the CSA and I suspect he saw himself in SGT Tyree. G-d bless them both, the Army at its best . . . .
I am 75 and I’d watched it all my life. When I lived in Gibraltar in the 70s, my mum wrote to me to say that she ( with my older sister ) had stayed up to watch it yet again. Mum had just got a new colour t v and the reason she’d stayed up was to see the film in colour for the first time!!!!
When this movie was made in 1948-49, that was probably just about every American Bison that was left on the planet. I wonder how John Ford managed that... Aside from that? His "Cavalry Trilogy" is still 3 of my favorite movies...
the latest struck print is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS COLOR! one of the most beautiful color films I've ever seen, along with The Red Shoes and Renoir's The River
When I was a boy, I watched this movie several times when it came on TV. I always got worked up watching Sgt tyree getting chased. I mean, really worked up! That's what a good movie does; it gets you engaged. I didn't realize until much later how much of a real horseman he was. This movie has always been one of my all-time favorites.
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, Fort Apache and Rio Grande are John Ford's textbook Westerns, although The Searchers remains his masterwork. My personal favorite is bit poetic My Darling Clementine. A nostalgic gem.
I've never seen the whole movie, but every time I hear the theme song I think of my Navy boot camp days. When passing as a group under a certain bridge on base, our company always had to sing the theme song to this film.
One thing to note, by the time that is being portrayed in this movie, U.S. cavalry units no longer carried the saber when on active patrolling or offensive operations. It was considered a relatively useless encumbrance, even officers usually had an extra pistol or a rifle[not a carbine]and ammunition to suit. Sabers were relegated to parade wear.
Victor McLaglan is the actor's name. He was also in "The Quiet Man" with Duke, and he played a kind-hearted sergeant with Shirley Temple in a movie. There's a UA-cam clip of him on the show "This is Your Life" where he's reunited with his brother, who had moved to South Africa many years before. Just like in the movies, he had to wipe tears from his eyes.
John Wayne played a character twenty years older than he actually was. John Ford (director) had seen John Wayne in “Red River” and exclaimed "I didn't know the big son of a bitch could act!". Once filming was over John Ford presented Wayne with a cake with the message, "You're an actor now".
That incredible terrain deserved it's own award! A bit weird that they're wearing winter overcoats in the middle of the Arizona sun, but whatev... looks cool. And those off-green West German elastic suspenders... John Ford musta LOVED those things, he makes them a key US Cavalry uniform item in every movie. Ben Johnson does an AWESOME dismount at 10:33.
One anachronism that actually improves the look of the film is the yellow-lined overcoats worn by officers and men, as they weren't issued until the year after the Custer disaster. (The film, wherever in the West it's supposed to be set, is supposed to be taking place in the summer of 1876 -- with Capt,. Brittles due to retire in our Centennial Year!)
@@waynesarf8065 I'm a VMI Alum and always liked the red lining VMI uses on the gape on the Overcoat. USMA and the Citadel don't use it with their similar uniforms and it loses something . . . .
The scenes at 0:55 of the Arapaho in the column remind of the comments made by Major Reno's survivors at the Little Big Horn. They watched as the inhabitants of the large NA village marched away in military-style columns.
all is historically false, but the story, the caracters, the spirit, the music,the beautifull scenery and the way it's filmed make of this one of the greatest western ever.
After the end of the Civil War, there was no need for a huge standing Army. This has happened after WW1, WW2, and Korea and Vietnam. Many officers held a commission that was no longer needed and were reduced in rank. Generals became Col, Maj or Captains or even less.
@@BigTrain175 General shouldn't be in quotes, anymore than it would be in writing of a former Confederate general. In both cases the army in which the men held that rank no longer existed. Thus Custer, an actual major general of volunteers who also held the brevet rank of MG, found himself some time after the war's end in his Regular Army rank of captain. Thus, even though he had commanded an entire cavalry division during the war, his appointment to the lieutenant-colonelcy of the new U.S. Seventh Cavalry was actually a promotion. Until 1872 officers were entitled to wear the rank insignia of their highest brevet rank -- which could lead to some odd-looking or awkward situations.
Excellent movie, it's amazing to think of the Irish immigrants that contributed to the cavalry and how different the Southwest must have been to them compared to their native Ireland.
Since the story of this movie takes place not longer after the Battle of Little Big Horn which was in 1876, I'm assuming the story unfolds perhaps at most a year afterward? To put this time in perspective to the characters in this film, assuming they are patrolling in what is now Arizona, that means by their time perspective, they are patrolling land that was seized from Mexico by the United States in the Mexican American War of 1848 only 30 years earlier. Not to mention, the American Civil War having ended only 12 years earlier.
With a column in chancy territory, and potentially hostile body nearby, those bugle calls will carry for miles in the right circumstances. Better to use a mounted trooper to deliver a message or use hand signals.
I am 72 years old and I have watched this film most of my life and still enjoy it,

Ben Johnson's horsemanship was outstanding!
The best of the Ford 'westerns '.
It sure is, and one of John Ford's proteges, Will, directed Ben Johnson to an Oscar.
He was a champion roper. Of course he could handle a horse.
I'm 73 and love this film, along with Rio Grande, The Searchers, Fort Apache, Stagecoach, and Angel and The Badman. Best of JW.

One of the best….great story, beautifully written and filmed. We’ll never see a cast this good again.

Well, I flew a Piper J-3 Cub through that part of the country. It was one of the most enjoyable bits of flying in my 47 years as a career professional pilot.
Sgt. Tyree (former Cpt. CSA) was my favorite character. Great NCO and scout plus “I don’t chaw tobacco and I don’t play cards.”
"My mother didn't raise any sons to be making guesses in front of Yankee Captains." Tyree, one of John Ford's better characters. Ben Johnson was iconic as the NCO with brains.
