I think only john Ford could make a so awesome western, he who was the master of this genre. This is a western that only idiots can despise, brainless audiences who crave only of gunfights and outlaws, Indians against Blue Coats in bloody and gruesome battles, good sheriffs against evil cattle barons henchmen in predictable showdowns...Of course it is subtle, anti heroic, it is a mtyh destroyer, the best ever made. Such a film could not be made now, where herds of idiots crave for super f...heroes; how could they unsderstand shucH a movie, eating their popcorn and drinking their Cocacola? It Is a downbeat, disenchanted, gloomy but beautiful masterpiece tha deserves to be watched again and again. Each time, you'll discover something new. StEwart and the Duke are more than excellent. Before their next meeting, forteen years later in THE SHOOTIST.
