Movie Review: John Ford and the American Revolution
Summary: 4 Stars
Based on Walter D. Edmonds' historical novel, "Drums Along the Mohawk" (1939) remains among the few memorable films about the American Revolution. Director John Ford's first Technicolor production benefits immeasurably from the Oscar-nominated cinematography of Bert Glennon and Ray Rennahan. Though episodic and slow moving in its narrative structure, Ford doesn't shy away from the brutal savagery of frontier life. Henry Fonda and Edna May Oliver deliver standout portrayals, thus compensating for a miscast Claudette Colbert - the weak link in an otherwise excellent ensemble. Not top-drawer Ford, but entertaining nonetheless.Movie Review: Brilliant restoration
Summary: 4 Stars
Fox did a brilliant job in restoring Drums Along the Mohawk for DVD, with one small, annoying exception ... the 20th Century Fox trademark is from a much later era, perhaps the 1960s or 1970s.

Summary: 4 Stars

Movie Review: Drums Along the Mohawk
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the original version, strongly remembered from my childhood. I had watched a remake some time ago, disappointed in it. Now, I have the one I recall.Movie Review: Stop the screaming.
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually give this movie 41/2 stars. I would give it five stars if it weren't for Claudette Colbert's annoying screaming.
