Movie Haiku:A grab-bag of Western stereotypes (including drunken doctor, prostitute, gentleman gambler, officer’s wife) journeys through perilous Apache country. Along the way, they pick-up Ford’s iconic “good bad man” (Wayne in his breakthrough role as the Ringo Kid). This mini-society is tested by circumstance & its true heroes emerge. Great film.
