She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is a 1949 Western film directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne. The academy award winning film was the second of Ford's Cavalry trilogy films (the other two being Fort Apache (1948) and Rio Grande (1950)). With a budget of $1.6 million, the color film was one of the most expensive Westerns made up to that time. It was a major hit for RKO.
The film was shot on location in Monument Valley utilizing large areas of the Navajo reservation along the Arizona-Utah state border. Cinematographer Winton Hoch won an academy award for Best Color Cinematography in 1949. Ford and Hoch based much of the film's imagery on the paintings and sculptures of Frederic Remington.
The film takes its name from the popular US military song, "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" is used to keep marching cadence.

It was okay, but just not my cup of tea. The cinematography was great though. It was funny to see John Wayne with a mustache.

Quite surprised you didn't like it. Fantastic movie, one of The Duke's best. The scene where he receives the pocketwatch is some of the finest acting of his career.

I agree. I love this film.

One of my favorite songs is Garryowen. Ford's use of it in the movie gets me every time.
