John Ford - 1939
This didn't strike as a great Ford, with Henry Fonda coming across as a rather weedy 'hero'. It's probably most notable for being shot in Technicolour, and for having less of a reliance on wider establishing shots. Also notice Ford's use of the image of the man looking up the image, in a very long shot, towards usually a home.
This film is also downright racist; the Indians are seen as uncontrollable savages, ordered by a 'Birth Of A Nation' style white man, which does not make it O.K.
