The greatest contribution of the film, apart from its cinematic value, possibly lied in its trendsetting nature - the role it played in spawning a generation of revisionist Westerns & changing the nature of the genre itself. Thanks a lot Sam for sharing your thoughts about this John Ford masterpiece.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-22338101289730657772012-05-29T08:02:45.564+05:302012-05-29T08:02:45.564+05:30It's certainly the most persuasive candidate f...It's certainly the most persuasive candidate for the title of Best Western of All Time, and pretty much for all the superlative points you bring to the table here: John Wayne's towering existential performance, the spectacular settings, Frank Nugent's screenplay and certainly Max Steiner's extraordinary music. But perhaps your final sentence says it all. Among Ford films for me it would rank near the top, with only THE GRAPES OF WRATH narrowly ahead. But there are some days I think they are dead equal.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
