Not just rightly thought of as one of John Ford's greatest works but one of the greatest films of all time. Wayne won an Oscar many years later for True Grit but many consider this film his finest. Playing a disturbed and bitter Confederate veteran out West visiting his brother's settled family we observe a man at odds with both himself and the world. Subsequent events compel him onto a man hunt which is as much a search for himself as the kidnapped. Perfectly cast with the landscapes unforegttable, and an ending that will surprise and move. A triumph.
