| | Cheyenne Autumn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | Cheyenne Autumn is a beautiful title to grace John Ford's final Western, but the film falls short of the occasion. |
 | | He's unambiguously sympathetic to the Cheyennes' resolve to bolt the reservation and trek back to their ancestral lands, while most of white society, the military, the bureaucracy, and the sensationalist press come off as insensitive, foolish, or downright hateful. |
 | | However, the Cheyenne are nobly wooden (and played by non-Indians), and it's sympathetic cavalry officer Richard Widmark and Quaker missionary Carroll Baker through whose eyes most of the epic narrative unfolds. |
