Customer Reviews
Fort Apache
I like this movie a lot, always did. Anyway, I was elated when I saw it available on imovies, and I purchased it right away. Unfortunately, upon watching it, I encountered technical problems. The blasted movie pauses, freezes, starts up again, resumes, then continues on for another minute or so before it stops again. In short, it is impossible to watch the bloody thing. I know it's not a problem with my computer because my other downloaded movies play just fine. I got ripped off. I demand a refund.
Ford Fan
John Ford did not direct "Rio Bravo". That was a Howard Hawks film. The John Ford Calvary trilogy was Fort Apache, Rio Grande, and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.
Great movies all.
My Favorite of the Calvary Trilogy
You can't go wrong with one of the best westerns which features a great cast! I agree with the previous reviewer...Rio Bravo is not a part of the cavalry trilogy. And Shirley Temple never won an Oscar. Had the plot summary mentioned Henry Fonda in its list of "Oscar Winners," that would have been correct, and Henry Fonda dominates this film as Lt. Col. Owen Thursday.
