Though I'd rate it lower than the other two, there's no doubting Wayne's towering performance and the truly magnificent cinematography.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-60858180308848966822013-06-17T09:54:35.864+05:302013-06-17T09:54:35.864+05:30"The Duke brought an incredible amount of war..."The Duke brought an incredible amount of warmth, humanism and easy charm into his lovingly etched character, thus lending the film a strong emotional depth.

Wayne does triumph in a tour de force performances, and even with some corny scenes the film is so humane and imbued with humor that most people prefer it to the other films in the trilogy, FORT APACHE and RIO GRANDE. Winton C. Hoch's magnificent Technicolor cinematography is indeed the deal-breaker for most.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
