The Searchers

JOHN FORD FILM FESTIVAL

Considered by many critics and filmmakers to be one of the greatest movies ever made. This is the tale of ex-Confederate soldier Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) and his five year journey to rescue his niece Debbie (Natalie Wood) from Comanches, whom he hates, but curiously understands more than his own people. “Contains scenes of magnificence, and one of Wayne’s best performances.” (Roger Ebert)
