FORT APACHE
starstarstarstarstar
A superb epic Western, and the first in John Ford's U.S. Cavalry trilogy. In a suprising bit of casting, Henry Fonda stars as a martinet commander bitter over having been sent to fight Indians instead of being assigned a glory post. He foolishly leads his men to disaster, but the press later presents him as a hero for the sake of the military's image. With John Wayne, Shirley Temple and Ward Bond.
