Movie Reviews of Rio Grande
Movie Review: Rio Grande
Summary: 3 Stars
One of the many "Rio" movies made by John "Duke" Wayne. This one is not the typical good vs evil that was his standard. Rio Grande brings out the cruel side of his character that later movies hardly ever showed. The acting is excellent, but the story line is not what one expects from a John Wayne western. The supporting cast does a great job, but can't keep the audience from wishing that the lead character would just ride off into the sunset...and stay there.
Summary of Rio Grande
Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 11/13/2008The last and least memorable of John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy (following Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon), Rio Grande nonetheless has an interesting continuity about the gentlemanly rules of military conduct. Here the focus is on the family. While creating a heated controversy over his handling of the Apache war, John Wayne must also contend with disgruntled wife Maureen O'Hara and estranged son Claude Jarman Jr., a new recruit trying to earn his father's love and respect. Ford seems to suggest that there are two conflicting codes of honor in every cavalry officer's life, the personal as well as the professional, and that it takes an act of heroism to maintain both. It's fascinating to observe Wayne's progression throughout the trilogy, as his personal stakes intensify. Also, this is the first of five onscreen appearances between the Duke and O'Hara, each filled with a competitive spirit and stormy sexuality. --Bill Desowitz
