John Wayne and John Ford made some of the best westerns ever brought to the silver screen, and this one is easily the best, in fact, it is one of the top five best westerns ever made, period. Wayne plays the dark and brooding Ethan who spends years searching for his niece who has been kidnapped by Indians. His hatred for Indians and fear that his niece has been turned into one, keeps you wondering until the end what his decisions will be. A great supporting cast with Jeffrey Hunter, and Ward Bond add some comic relief to this classic. If you are not a Duke fan but like westerns, this is a must see, and if you are a fan, well I'm sure you have seen it many times over.
