Hondo - (John Farrow;1953;USA) -
An army gunfighter and his dog come upon a woman who lives with her son on a ranch in the midst of a conflict between Apaches and soldiers.
One of John Wayne's most memorable roles, and a very watchable film. It's been obscure for years due to no release and only a few TV airings, although most people know the famous image of Wayne walking with the dog. It's not an amazing film but it's a pretty good film, and has more respect for Indians then most westerns of that era had.
