This is without a doubt the greatest Western ever made.
John Ford is a genius and this is his masterpiece. John Wayne gave the performance of his life. Everything came together perfectly in this one. And what a great last shot! I watched this movie for the first time with my dad when I was twelve years old and it opened up a whole world of classic movies to me. I’ve come to appreciate it as the masterpiece it really is. It deserves to be in the top twenty five of AFI’s 100 Greatest Movies list this June. If it’s not, it’ll be a travesty…again.
