    • Trivia
      According to Peter Bogdanovich in "Pieces of Time" Richard Widmark stated he had more fun on this film than any other. "I'm a little deaf in this ear . . . and [John Ford]'s a little deaf in the other, and [James Stewart's hard of hearing in both! . . . So all through the picture, all three of us were goin', 'What? What? What?'"
    • Goofs
      While women did wear pants in this era out of necessity, they did not wear pants anything like those worn by Shirley Jones. Her pants were clearly there to emphasize her ample attributes. Not historically correct. Her pants would not have tailored to be form fitting and probably would have been denim blue or brown.

      First Lt. Jim Gary: You're not gonna start a fire! Why don't you just send up smoke signals?

      Marshal Guthrie McCabe: I can't spell.

    Stewart and Widmark ride together
    I saw this film first in 1961 at the Riviera Theatre in Rochester, New York with my cousins and I loved it. I found out later that John Ford in his cantankerous dotage dismissed all of the work he did after Wings of Eagles as junk.

    Well second rate John Ford is far better than first rate from 90% of directors. The film hasn't lost any charm for me even after 44 years.

    Army Lieutenant Richard Widmark takes a patrol into Tascosa to fetch Marshal James Stewart back to the fort where Commandant John McIntire has an assignment for Stewart. It's to negotiate with Comanche Chief Quannah Parker for the return of white captives taken during the Indian wars. The rest of the film is what happens to both our leads during that mission and after.

    To watch the chemistry between Stewart and Widmark is something to behold. There is a scene at the beginning of the film during the ride back to the fort where Stewart and Widmark sit on the bank of a stream while the horses are being watered. Ford has them engage in some bantering dialog where the characters are established. In the hands of these two consummate professional actors, the scene almost takes on a sublime quality. It's my favorite scene in the film.

    As usual Ford rounds out his cast with a lot of his stock company. I have to single out Willis Bouchey. He plays Henry J. Wringle in this film who is along on this trip very reluctantly. He has the second best scene in the film with Stewart as he makes Stewart an offer that he'll pay him a thousand dollars to bring back any white captive around the age of his wife's son by her first husband. This is so he can get back to his business. Stewart's reactions to this offer are also something to behold. Willis Bouchey did so well in so many of Ford's later films, but here and in The Horse Soldiers I think his career peaked.

    Second rate Ford is still good enough for me.
