She Wore A Yellow Ribbon

Synopsis

Shot in the stunning Monument Valley and winning an Oscar for its magnificent cinematography, the second of John Ford's trilogy of westerns about the US Cavalry sees John Wayne putting in one of his best performances as an officer coming towards the end of his army career and beginning to wonder whether it hasn't all been a big mistake. In keeping with the film's major theme - the passing of time - notice how often clocks feature and how Wayne's Captain Brittles seems to be late for everything.
