Even though this movie is filmed in black & white it's Blu-ray up-grade adds the degree of clarity renown to this quality of media. The story of course a classic John Wayne cowboy flick gives the high level of acting renown to this actor, with a believable and entertaining storyline. A great classic enhanced through the re-release in the Blu-ray format; a must-own for all fans of the “Duke”.
Lieutenant Colonel Kirby Yorke (John Wayne) heads a cavalry post on the Texas side of the Rio Grande, defending settlers against Apaches launching raids from the Mexican side of the river. When Yorke's 16-year-old son, Jeff (Claude Jarman Jr.) — who he has not seen since he was a baby – shows up at the post as one of the new recruits, he treats him more harshly than the others. Things are further complicated when Yorke's estranged wife, Kathleen (Maureen O'Hara), returns to take her son home.
“In this Ford's Western, part of a trilogy that also includes She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Wayne gets to play the tough biological and sociological father of his recruits, which include his son” - EmanuelLevy.Com
“While nowhere near an essential showcase for Ford or Wayne, and a complete waste of O'Hara, Rio Grande is still a generally enjoyable conveyor-belt western.” - The Wee Review
