The first of John Ford’s cavalry trilogy, in which a commanding officer, bitter at his demotion after the Civil War, takes his resentment out on the men of Fort Apache, a remote outpost in the Arizona desert. He is determined to tighten up discipline, but eventually shows his ignorance of Indian behaviour when he leads his troops into a deadly confrontation. Dir: John Ford., The first of John Ford’s “Cavalry Trilogy”, Fort Apache stars John Wayne as captain Kirby York and Henry Fonda as Custer clone Lt. Col. Owen Thursday. Resentful of his loss in rank and transfer to the West after serving gallantly in the Civil War, the vainglorious Thursday insists upon imposing rigid authority on rough-and-tumble Fort Apache. He is particularly anxious to do battle with the local Indians, despite York’s admonitions that the trouble around the fort is being fomented not by the so-called savages but by corrupt white Indian agents. Thursday nonetheless ends up in a climactic set-to with Indian chief Cochise. He and his men are needlessly slaughtered, but the Eastern press builds “Thursday’s Charge” into an incident of conspicuous valor–and York, ever loyal to the cavalry, is not about to tell the whole truth. The bare bones of Fort Apache’s plotline are fleshed out with several subplots, including the romance between Thursday’s daughter Philadelphia (Shirley Temple) and Lt. Mickey O’Rourke (John Agar), the son of Fort Apache veteran Sgt. Michael O’Rourke (Ward Bond). There’s also plenty of time for the expected drunken-brawl humor of Victor McLaglen. Not in the least politically correct, Fort Apache is a classic of its kind, and together with Rio Grande (1950) the best of the John Ford/John Wayne Cavalry films., The first of John Ford’s cavalry trilogy about a commanding officer, bitter at his treatment after the Civil War, who takes his resentment out on the men of Fort Apache, a remote outpost in the Arizona desert. He is determined to tighten up discipline, but eventually shows his ignorance of Indian behaviour when he leads his troops into a deadly confrontation., In John Ford’s sombre exploration of “Custer’s last stand” and the mythologising of American heroes, he slowly reveals the character of Owen Thursday, who sees his new posting to the desolate Fort Apache as a chance to claim the military honour which he believes is rightfully his. Arrogant, obsessed with military form and ultimately self-destructive, Thursday attempts to destroy the Indian warrior Cochise after luring him across the border from Mexico., The stand-up, veteran captain at Fort Apache finds himself embroiled in conflict when his troops are placed under the leadership of a cavalier lieutenant colonel who disrespects the local American Indian population., The first of John Ford’s cavalry trilogy tells the story of a demanding colonel who clashes with his own troops as well as Apaches. The other two entries are “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” and “Rio Grande.”, Top-notch western about a cavalry troop at an outpost in the Arizona desert., Acclaimed Western from the great John Ford, starring Henry Fonda as a gung-ho cavalry commander whose troops are defeated in a bloody battle with the local Indians. John Wayne co-stars as his more logical deputy., The first of John Ford’s cavalry trilogy, in which a commanding officer, bitter at his demotion after the Civil War, takes his resentment out on the men of Fort Apache, a remote outpost in the Arizona desert. He is determined to tighten up discipline, but eventually shows his ignorance of Indian behaviour when he leads his troops into a deadly confrontation.
