Fort Apache
I have never been into Classic Westerns or John Wayne for that matter.However, one day when I was feeling lazy and feeling like a "couch potato" I found this movie on television.I figured it would hold my interest for a few minutes but I was wrong! First off the music caught my ear and the words to the songs became stuck in my head! Pleasantly so though.With being used to modern, action packed and special effect loaded movies of today, which I love and go to see often, I was entertained by the simplicity of the movie. The story line was simple with clear cut "good vs bad" and strong characters who wanted to do the right thing.The movie was filmed in the west and the outdoor scenes were very good. I thought the Native American portrayal was not that bad considering the time period the movie was made.John Wayne surprised me as I found his acting to be good and of course Henry Fonda is a classic actor. So, I watched the entire movie and I enjoyed it, I did not get bored, and I ended up buying a copy for myself!So, if you like the "old west" give this fifties movie a chance.
