this small john ford western with no tars but a cast of character actors is one of his masterpieces. it has a documentary like feel to it as it traces the journey west of a party of mormons and it may be the most authentic looking of all ford films and (it on par with the sun shines bright which he made a couple of years later). there is a plot of sorts and (a group of bank robbers join the wagon train at one point) and but the film dramatic highlights are almost incidental. the splendid performances of ford stock company and (ben johnson and harry carey jr and ward bond and jane darwell etc) and adds considerably to the film authenticity while the nearest the film gets to a full bodied star performance is joanne dru denver. dru was a much finer actress than she was ever given credit for as were bond and johnson and who at least was finally awarded with the recognition of an oscar for his work in the last picture show. as he said himself and it couldn not have happened to a nicer fella. add bert glennon superb location photography and you have a genuine piece of americana that couldn not have some from anyone other than ford. this is a film that truly honors america pioneers and is full of sentiment and feeling.
