Product: Fort Apache (Color Enhanced) [VHS] (1948)
Rating: 4.0
Nice character study
1948 John Ford western, starring Henry Fonda, John Wayne, and a 20-year-old Shirley Temple. Mostly a character study of an aging war hero (Fonda) shuffled off to an outlying fort, and wanting one more chance for the fame and glory that he misses. Unfortunately, it's his men that pay the price. Shirley Temple is involved in the sub-plot as his daughter, dragged from the east coast to the wild west, falls for a local soldier. Some pretty funny scenes with the character actors who plays the local soldiers/drunks, and some pretty intense subjects that still resonate today. Based in part on Custer's Last Stand.
