Film Description
Henry Fonda plays the stubborn, bitter Colonel Thursday, who refuses to accept advice from veteran fighters and refuses to support his daughter Philadelphia's romance. It all climaxes in a rousing finale.
Colonel Thursday (Henry Fonda) is bitter at having been sent to battle 'digger' Indians, and his textbook methods of warfare appear barbaric and suicidal to his men. Captain York (John Wayne), an officer experienced in Apache warfare, tries to advise Thursday, but his best efforts are in vain. This was the first film in director-producer John Ford's 'Cavalry trilogy', followed by 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon' (1949) and 'Rio Grande' (1950), and demonstrates a changing attitude to American Indians in Ford's work.
