Scr Frank S Nugent, novel Alan le May
John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles, Ward Bond ('Rev'), Natalie Wood, John Qualen, Henry Brandon (Scar), Hank Worden (Mose), Patrick Wayne (the young lieutenant).
Incredible photography Winton C. Hoch. You can tell Ford was a silent director - whole film works without dialogue. Simple filming. Wayne is starting to soften when he covers up dead squaw / wife. Picks Wood up like he did the child. Amusing letter sequence. Really good.
