Rio Grande (1950) Directed by John Ford

Genre: Western

Rio Grande was the most exciting and emotionally involving, and the least sentimental, of John Ford's great cavalry trilogy. It also proved a high-water mark for the Western of this era, and for many of those involved. John Wayne was coming to the end of a string of highly demanding, serious acting roles that had commenced with Red River, and was at the peak of his acting ability for the role of the quietly suffering martinet Yorke. Also, his first teaming opposite Maureen O'Hara established one of the movies' most beloved onscreen couples, as well as a friendship that would endure between the two actors for the rest of their lives. Claude Jarman Jr., Ben Johnson, and Harry Carey Jr. were just as good in their roles, with Johnson displaying here (and in Ford's Wagon Master, released earlier the same year) the first real flashes of the acting ability that would carry him to an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor in The Last Picture Show two decades later. The rest of the Ford stock company is also on hand in excellent supporting roles, including Victor McLaglen (in the next-to-last of the 11 movies he did with Ford), Jack Pennick, Grant Withers, Ken Curtis, etc. The music -- mostly in the form of folk songs -- is provided principally by the Sons of the Pioneers singing group, of which Curtis (who was Ford's son-in-law) was a member.
