i just catch this little gem on amc . i miss the opening credit so i have no idea who direct it . a the film progress and i be like this have get to be a john ford film . after all and it feature john wayne and harry carey and ward bond and lot of wonderful ford like shot . a wonderfully photograph and direct film . it even have marjorie main in a character role that a total departure from her normal and boisterous part we all know and expect from this great actress . then i look it up here at the imdb and saw that it be henry hathaway film . i never think of hathaway a a bad director by any mean and but wow . this simply have the look of a well craft classic beginning to end . highly recommended .
