Movie Reviews of Fort Apache
Movie Review: Fort Apache
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great classic movie where the hero (John Wayne) struggles with what he knows is right and what he is ordered to do. Shirley Temple plays a spoiled daughter who falls in love for the first time against her parent's wishes, but love and duty both triumph in the end.
Summary of Fort Apache
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 KeoghThe soldiers at Fort Apache may disagree with the tactics of their glory-seeking new commander. But to a man they're duty-bound to obey - even when it means almost certain disaster. John Wayne Henry Fonda and many familiar supporting players from master director John Ford's "stock company" saddle up for the first film in the director's famed cavalry trilogy (She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and Rio Grande are the others). Roughhouse camaraderie sentimental vignettes of frontier life massive action sequences staged in Monument Valley - all are part of Fort Apache. So is Ford's exploration of the West's darker side. Themes of justice heroism and honor that Ford would revisit in later Westerns are given rein in this moving thought-provoking film that even as it salutes a legend gives reasons to question it.Running Time: 128 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/MISC.
