A incredible characterize of the war between the states, “Horse Soldiers” follows the anecdote of Wayne leading his troopers in an attack deep into enemy territory. Loosely based on a apt event, the Union must lop off the supply lines to Vicksburg. DUKE leads the raid.
This is a incredible transfer, as others have mentioned. I spotted literally one damaged frame, with a “V” shaped crease in it. The colors blaze off the screeen, and although there are no booklets, inserts, or extras (other than the recent trailer), the disc is a accurate keeper.
Although many glance this represent as “Ford-lite,” there are several classic Ford touches throughout the film. The opening shot of the calvary marching in a sundown silhouette is stirring. The charge of the child soldiers is a big moment (you ogle Wayne tip his hat to them as he rides off) .

For me, I like the subtle, “hidden” Ford touches in all of his films, which teach telling information about characters without the overbearing, in-your-face, and unbiased unimaginative heavy-handed direction in today’s movies.
In “Horse Soldiers”, the dyed-in-the-wool Southern patriot Hannah Hunter has spent several days as prisoner of the Union soldiers. At one point, in order to manufacture her feel better, a soldier gives her a candle for light. Another offers her a portion of a looking glass. The soldier holds up the broken mirror, and when she looks at her reflection she can discover the soldier’s Yankee cap over the top of it, as if she wore it herself. That’s Ford telling us she’s been converted, without slapping us in the face or dumbing it down for us.
You’ll spy familiar Ford faces pop up here and there, too. Jack Pennick is in fair about all of John Ford’s westerns. Hank Worden and Ken Curtis will be instantly familiar to fans of “The Searchers”. Ken Curtis was also in “Rio Grande” and “The Detached Man”, and is probably best known as Festus on “Gunsmoke”.

O.Z. Whitehead was in “The Grapes of Wrath” and “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”. Walter Reed was in “Sergeant Rutledge” and “Cheyenne Autumn”.
Bing Russell, who plays Dunker, is the man gunned down in the saloon in another DUKE movie, “Rio Bravo”.
Of couse, other familiar faces include Storther Martin and Denver Pyle as a pair of Confederate deserters.
This is a really solid cavalry film, with The DUKE in the thick of the action. William Holden is a trustworthy match as a foil for DUKE.
For those who say DUKE couldn’t act, DUKE has a spacious scene in the Newton Location bar when he reveals why he doesn’t like doctors.
“Horse Soldiers” is an overlooked gem from Ford, only because his more illustrious films shine that distinguished more.
I am an unabashed fan of John Wayne movies from “Stagecoach” to “The Shootist.” Among them all, “The Horse Soldiers” is my personal current.
John Ford captures, in shimmering, robust color, the pageantry of the Union and Confederate cavalries. With flags flying, horses pounding, and bugles blaring, Ford and Wayne obtain sheer movie entertainment. The musical earn by David Buttolph perfectly captures the varying moods of the film and complements the stirring visual images. From “I Left My Admire” to the “Bonnie Blue Flag,” the music accents the film’s emotions. William Holden and Constance Towers are well-cast as Wayne’s nemesis. The supporting cast is bolstered with many Wayne regulars, including Ken Curtus (Festus from “Gunsmoke”) .
Many criticize the true inaccuracies in John Wayne films. So what! He didn’t intend to create documentaries, he intended to perform rousing, enchanting movies. I will always contain this was his best…
