Plot

'The Duke' stars in this magnificent John Ford Oscar winning Western. Several of the themes, for example the contrast between the beauty of the wild and the corruption of 'civilization', in Ford's later films are touched upon, as is his choice of the Monument Valley setting, which he made his own. A taut psychological study of the occupants of a stagecoach ending in an Indian attack.
