	The Searchers (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Searchers are a British rock act who emerged as part of the Merseybeat era along with The Beatles, The Swinging Blue Jeans and Gerry and the Pacemakers.
		Kelly soon left to be replaced by Norman McGarry and it is this line-up—McNally, Pender (as he soon became known), Jackson and McGarry—that is usually cited as the original foursome.
		As musical styles evolved, the Searchers could not keep up and as a result, the hits ran out and while they continued to record for Liberty and RCA, ended up on the British "Chicken in a Basket" circuit although they did score a minor US hit in 1971 with Desdemona.

	The Searchers
		As with many of Ford's classic Westerns, The Searchers must contend with revisionism in its stereotypical treatment of "savage" Native Americans, and the film's visual beauty (the final shot is one of the great images in all of Western culture) is compromised by some uneven performances and stilted dialogue.
		THE SEARCHERS is an adult western which addresses themes largely absent in the genre up to that point: psychological conflict, racism, rape, and massacre.
		The Searchers is a grim and telling examination of what it must have been like for the ignorant settlers as they contended with the Native Americans, whose land they were stealing, food they were eating and culture they were destroying.

	Writings: The Searchers
		The Searchers (John Ford, 1956) certainly stretches the limits with its degeneration of Native Americans, its stereotyped Hispanics, its unequal portrayal of gender roles and its cruelty to animals.
		The Searchers begins with a line of conflict (the Indian raid) that determines the actions of the rest of the story (the search for Debbie), which follows the recipe of most typical Hollywood movies.
		The Searchers establishes this opposition between the white, domestic, Christian homesteaders and the "red," pagan, savage Indians, an antagonism that is the foundation of the whole plot and the structure of the movie.

	The Searchers
		The Searchers is another of Ford's Monument Valley Westerns, the one in which he uses this hauntingly beautiful landscape to its fullest effect.
		One could easily make the argument that the perspectives on these issues in The Searchers are decidedly more enlightened and nuanced than such later, clearly revisionist efforts as Dances with Wolves which is often blatantly patronizing in its treatment of Native-Americans.
		Roger Ebert points out that The Searchers was made in the dying days of the 'classic Western' which waned when Indians ceased being typecast as "savages".

	The Searchers
		At one time second only to The Beatles in popularity in Liverpool, the Searchers, like the Fab Four, broadened their repertoire from its original RandB and rock 'n' roll base, but unlike The Beatles, they never really became writers and were unable to develop further.
		The Searchers were among those groups which perfected their stagecraft in the clubs of Hamburg.
		He was replaced by Frank Allen (born Francis McNeice, 14th December 1943, Hayes, Middlesex), from Cliff Bennett and The Rebel Rousers, and the Searchers continued in a folk-rock vein.

	The Searchers
		The Searchers didn't start seriously trying their hand at creating original melodies until at least late '65, which pretty much makes them the last number on the running pad, and even then their main creative force, guitarist/vocalist John McNally, was extremely cautious.
		The single shows how the Searchers are really starting to find their vibe: the delicious 12-string jangle, married to the ever-perfected harmony arrangements, gets you going even if you do realize that there's enough maple syrup in the song to drown all the pancakes of Holland in it.
		If anything, the Searchers really knew the value of an acoustic and exploited the instrument for all its' worth while the other bands were way too busy trying to elevate feedback to an artistic form.

		Those records, The Searchers and Love's Melodies, were the best work the group ever did, highlighted by achingly beautiful yet vibrant and forceful playing and singing, and an unerring array of memorable hooks and melodies.

		In a 1979 New York magazine article, Stuart Byron called The Searchers the "Super-Cult Movie of the New Hollywood." This amply encapsulates just one reason why the film is essential; it had a tremendous influence on filmmakers during the 1970s, arguably one of the most creatively periods in Hollywood history.
		The Searchers represents the apex of the Western genre and stands as John Ford's most emotionally complex and sophisticated film (It was also his 115th feature film!).
		The Searchers is one of the first Westerns to deal in a serious and unpretentious way with racism and sexuality.

		Their close, four-part harmonies and rich, jangling guitar lines presaged the commercial ascendancy of folk-rock bands such as the Byrds.
		The group—originally comprised of guitarist John McNally, guitarist Mike Pender, bassist Tony Jackson, and drummer Chris Curtis—later struck out on their own, playing the Star Club (Hamburg, Germany) in the wake of the successful run there by the Beatles.
		Always hampered by the absence of a talented composer within the group, the inclusion of high quality material by Tom Petty, John Fogerty, Moon Martin, Alex Chilton, and other contemporary songwriters on the Sire LPs elicited critical raves.

		I first saw The Searchers, which is widely considered to be the greatest Western ever made and one of the greatest films ever made, about 10 years ago, and wasn't impressed.
		The Searchers is as beautifully photographed as most of Ford's other films, but the Widescreen and Technicolor make his usual location, Monument Valley, explode with weight and meaning.
		Where The Searchers fails is in its sloppy use of music and childish attempts at humor.

		THE SEARCHERS is an extremely rich film that continues to reveal new nuances with each viewing.
		THE SEARCHERS is essentially a tragedy, and without its humorous passages the film would have been almost too grim to bear (as was Alan LeMay's novel).

		Externally The Searchers is a fictional piece, yet the lives which were ploughed into the soil of America (to make it what it is today) have never seemed so close.

		The Searchers (1956) is considered by many to be a true American masterpiece of filmmaking, and the best, most influential, and perhaps most-admired film of director John Ford.
		It was his 115th feature film, and he was already a four-time Best Director Oscar winner (The Informer (1935), The Grapes of Wrath (1940), How Green Was My Valley (1941), and The Quiet Man (1952)) - all for his pictures of social comment rather than his quintessential westerns.
		The Searchers tells the emotionally complex story of a perilous, hate-ridden quest and Homeric-style odyssey of self-discovery after a Comanche massacre, while also exploring the themes of racial prejudice and sexism.
