Like with Fort Apache (1948) and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) John Ford's Cavalry Trilogy, Rio Grande (1950) is more about the life of men in the cavalry than the battles they fought. While Rio Grande might be the weakest of the trio, it does touch a sentimental note with its focus on a career army man and how it relates to family. The distance between a husband and wife, not to mention child, when one has dedicated one's life to the uniform. It's actually well-acted.

Another great John Ford/John Wayne western. There's awesome characters - the usual faces - a good and honest story, good visuals and music, excellent pace. What more is there? It's another tale of strong, courageous and honourable men fighting the good fight, doing the best they can to do the right thing and to protect and look after their own, to enact righteousness and to speak the truth. Cinema used to be so much better than the self-indulgent pubescent drivel it is nowadays.

I can never get behind Ford's politics, but the movie is still enjoyable in spite of it.

This was the safe movie Ford made to offset The Quiet Man. For a cavalry unit they sure spent a lot of time sitting around camp doing laundry. Wayne makes a dashing officer in his uniform. More melodrama than action. The characters are all very nice and memorable. McLaglen depicted his tormented past well. O'Hara packed a lot for a quick trip to pick up her son. Then the action started and there's only so much horse riding I could handle. Fav scene: O'Hara looked very beautiful at the dinner.

Lightweight Ford has its moments like most Ford's from the period, but it's weighed down by a dull romance and soporific humour that's guaranteed to grate the nerves of those who have been fortunate enough to not develop a taste for it. Wayne does his usual thing, and it's handsomely mounted, but that's to be expected. Suffice to say, it's an entertaining but relatively undistinguished piece of pro-calvary sentiment that borders on propaganda with only Ford's craft ensuring its watchability.Yep.

"Rio Grande" is so empty, pointless and devoid of thrills that calling it a formulaic Western would be an overstatement. There are more singing scenes than action, the characters are entirely hollow (to the point where the potential of them ending up unharmed, wounded or dead doesn't make any difference) and of course white folks are good and the natives should all die horrible deaths. Why this film is considered remotely good is beyond me. Avoid.

A generally exciting western. The plot is taut and well developed but the romance plot between Wayne and O'hara is difficult to stomach and the comedy moments are cringe worthy at best. Wayne is surprisingly good here, perhaps even the highlight of the film.
