What Rio Grande Is About
The colonel commanding a frontier post receives, as a private in his own unit, the son he has not seen for years. Then the boy's mother arrives to take him back. The film keeps the military operation in the background; the narrative watches a broken family living side by side in the same camp. The song sequences run longer than usual and set the mood. John Ford directed. It is the last of the cavalry trilogy, and the first film John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara made together. Before watching: the film shows Native people in the enemy shape of its period and that portrayal is a problem now. Its interest is in the family.
