Product ReviewsRio Grande (VHS, 1994, Colorized Version)

Rio Grande

I purchased this tape to complete what is referred to as the "Cavalry Trilogy" with, undoubtedly the best western actor, John Wayne. Along with Fort Apache and She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, they tell the story of a cavalryman's life on the frontier. The character names change, as do the actors, and the chronology reverses the way they were filmed (Ribbon, Apache, Rio Grande). Yet they give a graphic, although 'Hollywoodized' version, of the life and times of career military men in "keeping the peace" on the frontier. Their devotion to duty, honor and country let them endure civil and government bureaucracies, a physically demanding and life-threatening lifestyle and the privations of a very low-paying occupation. Had it not been for men like these, the life and country we know today would not exist. These films should be required viewing for all high school students, to give them a sense of direction in life.Read full review...
