This 1953 starring John Wayne as (Hono Lane),"She Wore A Yebbon",'49, is truly a great classic about Native Americans and how the early settlers and various Indian tribes struggled to live together and also tried to destroy each other. There is great battle scenes with Indians circling around the pioneer wagons and Hono Lane using tricky battle skills in order to protect the men and woman. There is romance between Hono and Geraldine Page,(Angie Lowe),"The Three Sisters,"'66, who admits she is not an attractive woman and has a young son which Hono grows fond of while showing him how to fish and hunt. Ward Bond,(Buffalo Baker)," Johnny Guitar",'54, gives a great supporting role as Hondo's old friend. James Arness,(Lennie),"Them",'54 makes a brief appearance and seems to dislike Hondo for some killing he had done in the past. There is a sweet dog in the picture who follows Hondo every where he goes, which shows the kind of person Hondo really is in life. A very well produced picture and a great Wayne Classic.
