Many have tried to say that John Wayne could not act. That is definitely not true, he could display a wide variety of emotions, performed in action flicks, dramas, comedies, and historical epics. But his most endearing character is the typical "Duke" performance which he gave in many films like Fort Apache. He brings dramatic depth and comic relief to this picture about the old west. The supporting performances by Henry Fonda and Shirley Temple are also superb. If you don't like westerns or John Wayne then you had better skip this one. But if you like action, comedy, war dramas, and if your like me a bit nostalgic, then Fort Apache will make the perfect Saturday afternoon film for you.
This classic western from legendary director John Ford explores the darker side of the Old West. When arrogant Lt Col. Owen Thursday (Henry Fonda) takes command of Fort Apache, he s determined to make a name for himself. Against the advice of seasoned soldier Capt Kirby York (John Wayne), Thursday wages war against Apache chief Cochise and his tribe. The Fort Apache Troop of men must follow their misguided commander who seeks glory, and he leads them into an Apache trap in a classic scene and fight. Great movie that you will never tire of watching.
More of a love story than a old west movie. It was ok.
