	Movies - She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is a 1949 western film directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne. The film was the second of Ford's trilogy of films focussing on the US Cavalry, the other two films being Fort Apache (1948) and Rio Grande (1950).With a budget of $1.6 million, the film was one of the most expensive westerns of the time, but became a major hit for RKO and remains a popular classic today.

Known for its breathtaking views of Monument Valley in southern Utah, the cinematographer, Winton Hoch, won the 1950 Academy Award for Best Color Cinematography. Ford and Hoch based much of the film's imagery on the paintings and sculptures of Frederic Remington.

Plot

On the verge of his retirement, the aging Cavalry Capt. Nathan Brittles (John Wayne) deals with a series of attacks by the Cheyenne and Arapaho following the defeat of Custer. Unwilling to see more lives needlessly taken, Brittles takes it upon himself to try to make peace with Chief Pony That Walks (Chief John Big Tree).
