RIO GRANDE (1950)

JOHN FORD

Plot

The third of Ford's ‘cavalry' films with Wayne as,the now Lieutenant Colonel, Kirby Yorke, a soldier in charge of putting down the rebellious Apaches, whose land the white man has recently half-inched. Unfortunately this involves crossing over into Mexico, in effect invading a foreign country, something which doesn't give the old imperialist half as many problems as his rather tortured home life.
