A masterpiece of mood and heroics, this second film in director John Ford's renowned cavalry trilogy (Fort Apache and Rio Grande are the others) features one of John Wayne's most moving performances, as a cavalry officer in his final week of service on the frontier. Under makeup aging him some 20 years, he inhabits the role of a wily veteran who knows the sting of war and vows to make his last mission one of peace. The ritual of outpost life, the sweep of battle, the advance of the patrol beneath ominous skies: She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, an Academy Award"' winner* for its color cinematography, paints a memorable portrait of the honor, duty and courage in the finest tradition of the cavalry.

Finally. Easily Wayne's best after The Searchers.

It's certainly John Agar's best.

A stunning western, I have the Warner DVD & am looking forward to buying the Blu-ray. I see they're also showing the Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman restoration.

[G. Costanz]

This should look fantastic on blu-ray. A fine film.

[BarnDoor]

Wonderful news. Hopefully this is among June's releases. Warner love releasing Wayne films around Father's Day after all!

[Lt. Brannigan]

I never thought I would see a John Wayne/John Ford collaboration being released through the archive.

I think it'll probably be later on, but who knows. They do have two other John Wayne movies scheduled for June 7th (Chisum and McQ) through WHV.

They do indeed, but part of me wonders if Warner Archive is now seen as the best place for most 'old' films - let's say, pre-1970 titles. Certainly, this being scheduled for the Warner Archive line means that anything Wayne isn't a given for the WHV line. There must be something else to their reasoning.

[Rich Pure Doom]

So pumped for this news!!

[Martin_31]

Great!

[solaris72]

Long awaited. Day 1 for sure!

[Arkadin]

only one word will work regarding this title--
FINALLY.

[ddwall]

Very good news.

[tallrichard]

If only now they'd release the entire Calvary trilogy as a boxed set!

Let's hope this is the first...soon to be followed by?

WB only has the rights to Fort Apache and Yellow Ribbon, Rio Grande currently is with Olive.

[happydood]

I'm so in for this.

[RiderNation]

How did I miss this announcement?!? I was already pleased to hear about McQ getting a BD release, but this has long been near the top of my BD wishlist. I cannot wait--one of my favourite movies from the Duke!

Bout damned time ....
