As a Texan born citizen I tear up with this movie. As the Searchers song is sung and as Ethan stands in the doorway he crosses his arms giving his old friend a tribute.

The Duke never forgot who taught him the cowboy ways.

Thanks for posting this all time classic.

I never got this movie. It's a cut above the usual John Wayne western drivel, but I can't see how anyone would think it is great. Has the usual phony looking sets and phony looking Indians in every Wayne film.

Natalie Wood was the cutest girl in the world !

The ending was splendid. I really thought he would hurt Debby, though I doubt John Ford would have let that happen. From this day forward I loved Natalie Wood.

Ah sweet sweet lauri "aka Vera miles" beautiful just beautiful and she got better the older grew.

@MrPirstel Thanks for the clarification. But "Pat" Wayne? In any event, the scene involving W. Bond's backside strikes this viewer as extraneous and, like much of the supposed humor in this flick, too slapstick.

@tmanthoHello. I'm personally a long remove from Texas but my grandmother was born in McGregor in the 19th Century and used to tell some fascinating, quiet stories about life then. We're supposed to be distantly related to Sam Houston and Governor Pat Neff, but who knows? You know what family oral histories are like. The point I'm making is that it's impossible to watch great movies like this without even the most distant roots tugging at you. All the best!

@en9nui You missed the whole buildup of the joke. They weren't pulling arrows from his backside, he was stabbed by Pat Waynes sabre. "Boy, you watch that knife".

The part where he picks her up like a child when she was a child was what made this movie the best western ever made to me. You can see the love he has for her and she back. They brought Debbie home where she belongs

[en9nui]

Though not without drama, these climactic scenes--among the more overrated in American cinema--supposedly "work" only if the viewer has become convinced somehow that Ethan may intend to harm Debbie. But what viewer actually believes Ethan to be a madman? And the penultimate scene, with arrows being removed from Ward Bond's backside, seems extraneous and detracts from the finale's dignity.

@madgab5 Yes. In a British interview Wayne defended Ethan's behaviour toward the Comanches by saying, 'They killed his wife. What would you do?'
