jrgeon Major who clashes, almost ineviibly, with Wayne, provides the picture ith a feminine appeal it might otherwise
lick.
i To keep these two titans of moviedom in few, co-producers John Lee Mahin and lartin Rackin called on the skilled hand of irector Ford, of whom it has truly been aid: "Every picture he makes is a labor of >ve." Certainly, if any artist in Hollywood /as marked, through his consummate abily and long line of previous successes, for le task of molding this epic tale of grim eroism into brilliant — and salable — screen are, John Ford is the man.
Actually, the storyline, itself, is replete /ith merchandiseable material. True, the ale is told in terms of broad, sweeping iction, but the posture of the plot is hisorical. And, in recent years, the American tublic has displayed an intense interest in jvil War memorabilia, eagerly consuming ilmost everything with an historical hue — rom souvenir hats to television plays. Coiniding happily with this social return to the past is "The Horse Soldiers," as stirring a itory as has ever been told of the dark and bloody days when the States fought each )ther.
J "The Horse Soldiers" must be regarded 'as a worthy addition to the year's roster of Gilt Edge Productions.
