Having read many of the other reviews for this film on the IMDb there is ostensibly a consensus amongst purists that this film is nothing like the books upon which it is based
, but I have to say that I am not one of those purist fans. I was pleasantly surprised by the film's success, and the fact that it was a great film. The film was well-paced, well acted, with a good cast, a well written script, great direction, good acting, excellent cinematography, superb music, terrific acting and great cinematographic effects. It was also a very well made film, which I think is a testament to the great talent of director and writer John Ford. This film has a lot of potential, as it has great potential to be a classic film and a must see for all fans of great films. If you are looking for a film that is well worth seeing, this is the one for you. You will be glad you did. <3/10.

. The film's plot is a bit convoluted, the acting is poor, and the story is not very interesting. I have to say that I was very disappointed with the film. It is very hard to believe that a film like this could be made in the first place.
