This was made when Westerns were Westerns and Men were Men, and Women were Thankful. Of course, now, all of this is unacceptable from a PC point of view, and we would be rooting for the Indians to kill all of them. All of that politicizing should be put aside, however, and we should enjoy the film strictly for its entertainment value, which is considerable. John Wayne, Thomas Mitchell, Claire Trevor, John Carradine and Andy Devine (before Andy's Gang was plunking magic twangers) make the cast rich and varied. Enjoy the carnage.
