The most unfortunate thing about John Ford's excellent, elegiac war film, with a strong turn from John Wayne, was its release date, December 1945, since the war was over.

Surprisingly rich film is one of the best war films ever made.

The real star of the film is the gorgeous, luminous, mostly outdoor black-and-white cinematography.
