This movie is a classic way beyond sone of the later versions .
There was also a silent version as well as a 1913 and 1916 versions . One had a different name . I'm not sure why one of the early versions have been practically forgotten .
It was neat that Harry Carey Jr played the role that his father had played in this version .
John Ford was a master director who got the very best from his actors .
I was interested to see Walter Brennen in this version and he still looked like an older man although he was quite young.
I wish that I could have read the book to see how closely the movie and the other movies stayed true to the book. I also loved the desert scenes scenes that Director Ford was so well know for .
