Movie reviews by Traci Hukill, Steve Palopoli, Mel Valentin and Richard von Busack
Ethan Edwards ( John Wayne) turns up at his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in northern Texas. Shortly afterward, the Comanches pay a visit. Edwards and a Texas ranger (Ward Bond) and a few other men lead a posse to find the survivors. Crude in moments, this film is easily John Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest work: a Western not just for the devotees but for people who either donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like them or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know them. Wayne lends his electric charisma to one of his most formidable antiheroes, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the most important acting performances ever in a movie. Also note Stanford grad Hank
Wordenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s splendid counterpointing to Wayne; Worden takes the Walter Brennan part as the cracked cowpoke Mose. His gleeful pantomiming of how Edward shot out the eyes of a corpse is just one moment of ambiguity in this tale of mad pursuit. (Plays Sat-Sun at 11am at Aptos.) (RvB)
