it take a while to get adjust to the sound of son of the pioneer and but then you thoroughly enjoy it . if the soundtrack would be play by an orchestra like max steiner or dmitri tiomkin it would lose it folkloric character . the music conduct the film and everything seem to follow it rhythm . the whole cast be excellent . ben johnson and harry carey jr. be the young men guide the caravan . ward bond be the mormon leader and joanne dru be a flirting actress . ford be able to make of what would be an ordinary western and something totally different and original showing u the music and the dance and and most of all and the people .
