She Wore a Yellow Ribbon Overview:
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) was a Western - War Film directed by John Ford and produced by John Ford, Merian C. Cooper and Lowell J. Farrell.
SYNOPSIS
The second of director Ford's Cavalry Trilogy (preceded by Fort Apache, followed by Rio Grande) depicts the passing of an era in the settlement of the West as one generation hands over its claim to the future to the next generation. Cavalry officer Wayne draws a frustrating assignment of shepherding women to a stagecoach as storm clouds build with the local Indians. Ready to go once more into the fray, Wayne gets reminded that his retirement is now effective and that the young, inexperienced lieutenants (Agar and Carey) have to earn their stripes under fire. An affecting performance from Wayne with Ford's usual empathy for the human stories that comprise our history.
