About this product

Product Information

THE HORSE SOLDIERS, John Ford's only attempt at tackling the subject of the Civil War, is based on Grierson's Raid, part of the Union's assault on Vicksburg in April 1863. After a number of failed efforts at taking the Southern stronghold, Union leaders assign Col. John Marlowe (John Wayne), a railroad designer in civilian life, to lead a cavalry detachment to destroy a vital railroad hub at Newton Station, far behind Confederate lines. Marlowe's unit includes Major Kendall (William Holden), a cynical physician disgusted by the notion that there's glory in the carnage, and the politically ambitious Colonel Secord (Willis Bouchey). Marlowe temporarily appropriates the plantation of Southerner Hannah Hunter (Constance Towers) while in transit and is forced to take her along, in lieu of killing her, after she overhears his plans for Newton Station. As their journey continues, Marlowe realizes that he is much more interested in Hannah than in her political sympathies. Wayne and Holden give gritty, soulful performances, and William Clothier's photography is outstanding in a film that delves beneath simplistic notions of heroism to reveal something more complicated, grisly, and real.

  • John Wayne at his Cavalry best

    "The Horse Soldiers": Based on an actual story of Colonel Grierson's Raid into the south during the American Civil War, this John Wayne movie was ahead of it's time. There's quite a bit of trivia attached to this particular NTSC VHS film (1998 issue) but you'll need to see it a few times first, so you might as well buy it. The cavalry movements are quite impressive and it's really more meaningful if you read up on this particular Civil War action first. It belongs in the collection of all historians and militaria collectors.

  • The Horse Soldiers

    One of John Waynes better movies. Loosely based on General Grant's western capaign prior to the Vicksburg seige. I found Wayne's character the most entertaining during his interaction with the two confederate deserters scene. As a whole, it's probably not one of the more popular movies that the Duke played in, but it is certainly one of his best.

  • Civil War Cavalry At Their Finest

    John Wayne never dissapoints but the doctor portrayed in this film gets my vote 10 times over. A real humanitarian caught up in the war between the states, he will stay with the wounded and dying and be taken POW by the enemy before he leaves any one soldier, blue or gray, behind. Bravo!

  • Movie collection

    It is for part of my collection of John Wayne movies. the movie is new so it went for my collection.
