Fort Apache(DVD English)

The first part of Fords celebrated cavalry trilogy, it depicts the story of an arrogant lieutenant Colonels disastrous succession to power at the eponymous military base, culminating in an ill-advised battle with Cochises apache warriors - is a frequently funny, pleasingly critical, and sadly convincing exploration of human and military fallibilities and virtues. John Wayne as Captain Kirby York and Henry Fonda as Custer clone Lt. Col. Owen Thursday give astounding performances.
