tho' I've never been able to decide which is the better of the two
I'll just have to watch these another 20 times
The real Star in both films is Monument Valley; plot seems almost a nuisance and even the presence of John Wayne doesn't derail either film

John Wayne was iconic when he was young, lean, and tough. Most - tinear 10:51:22 12/13/07 (0)
guys who don't like him are unaware of his earlier persona, the one that attracted Ford to him.
Wayne had a nasty look to him but also a nice smile, which is rare. It's also difficult to find 6' 5" guys that can act, ride a horse, and be resilient enough to make that number of Westerns. This was in the day when serious accidents on the set of action pictures was common.
