This is one of our favorite movies. The story takes place at Fort Apache after the Civil War. A different twist is there with John Wayne and Henry Fonda playing reversed roles. We like the old fashion gentlemanly conduct and the woman's dress styles. Packed with good humor.
The new commander, Henry Fonda, feels pushed aside when assigned to Fort Apache but intends to whip his soldiers into shape and make a name for himself fighting the Apache. Though his men disagree with his tactics they're duty-bound to obey - even when is means almost certain disaster. Filmed in John Ford's Monument Valley.
One thing we do not like in the movie is Shirley Temple's attitude toward her father (Henry Fonda) in not wanting to obey his wishes but continually disobeying to get what she wants.
