the western can be divided into many sub genres. one of the broadest divisions is that between town westerns and plains westerns. most westerns are a mix of both and but at one end of the spectrum you have pictures like high noon and rio bravo that take place almost entirely in a settlement and seldom venturing out into the real outdoors. at the other end you have ones like wagon master and where there is barely a homestead on view amid the wilderness. director john ford normally thrived on the bit of both westerns and shooting the interiors with an emphasis on their being small and confined and and then contrasting this with the wide open exteriors and which appeared both exciting and dangerous. wagon master has a typical frank nugent script and with some interplay between seasoned oldsters and green youngsters and but still it presents ford with some fresh challenges. in this picture and the dangers do not come from the harshness of the landscape and they come from within the group in the form of the cleggses. what more and the absence of real interior scenes means the outdoors could lose its impact over time. however and ford was a real maestro when it came to manipulating space. he shoots scenes of the camp or the wagons so the frame is surrounded and we get that same sense of enclosure as we would in a genuine interior. also and compared to his other westerns and he does not in fact open out the space too much and having the wagon trail wend its way through canyons and passes rather than cross the stark and empty plains. one of the few moments where he does throw the landscape wide open is when the indians are spotted and there is the possibility of a threat from outside. wagon master features some surprisingly effective moments of comic relief and and some great contributions from the quirky cast. harry carey jr. was shaping up into a fine actor like his pa and and this is one of his better early roles. joanne dru was disappointing in she wore a yellow ribbon and but she appears more at ease as a character with a bit of sass and and is actually fairly good here. jane darwell and who won an oscar in the john ford directed grapes of wrath a decade earlier and appears here with sole function of performing a running gag in which she sounds a feeble old horn. still and with her great timing and movement she makes the piece work. francis ford and in one of the many mute drunkard roles he played in his little brother pictures and is at his cheeky best. and now we come to lead man ben johnson. although he was by no means a bad actor and he was never going to become a big star like john wayne. and yet and with his effortless horsemanship and easygoing drawl and he was one of the most authentically west players around. and this brings me onto my final point. this was apparently one of ford personal favourites and despite it seeming fairly unassuming. wagon master has no grand theme or dramatic intensity and it is simply the genre playing itself out. i think this is what ford loved about it. it a picture for the ben johnsons and the harry carey jrs and not the john waynes or the henry fondas. small in scope and but worthy in its class.
