"Der Teufelshauptmann ist der zweite Teil von John Fords berühmter Trilogie über die amerikanische Kavallerie, die auch die Filme Bis zum letzten Mann und Rio Grande umfasst. Dieser nachdenkliche Western zeigt erneut die Faszination, die das Verlöschen der Vergangenheit in der Geschichtsschreibung auf den Regisseur ausübt. Hier bietet John Wayne (Alamo, Rio Bravo) eine seiner sensibleren Schauspielleistungen in der Rolle des Hauptmanns N ..."
"The second installment of John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy (which also includes Fort Apache and Rio Grande), this meditative Western continues the director's fascination with history's obliteration of the past. It features one of John Wayne's more sensitive performances as Capt. Nathan Brittles, a stern yet sentimental war horse who has difficulty preparing for his impending military retirement. All things considered, he refuses to le ..."

"Made during the heyday of Hollywood anthology films (such as O. Henry's Full House and Tales of Manhattan), this meandering movie is wound around the adventures of a lowly classified-ad clerk (Burgess Meredith, who also produced) who plays roving "man on the street reporter" for a day. He asks the question, "What influence has a baby had on your life?" and gets a collection of comical responses. Hapless jazz musicians Henry Fonda and Ji ..."
"Disney has mined Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli stories twice, but it has never topped this elegant, lush classic by the British Korda brothers. Producer Alexander Korda brought director Zoltan and designer Vincent to California, where they used Hollywood's resources to create a storybook India of verdant jungles, beautiful lagoons, and modest peasant villages. Sabu plays Mowgli, the man-cub raised by wolves and schooled in the jungle who ret ..."
"This 1953 John Ford film for Republic Pictures is a mix of suspense and romance, telling the story of a Kentucky judge 4 decades after the Civil War who remains a confederate at heart."
"The 1932 version of A Farewell to Arms owes as much to the shimmering house style of Paramount Pictures as it does the novel by Ernest Hemingway. If Hemingway purists can get past the romanticizing of the book, however, this film offers its own glossy appeal. On the Italian front in World War I, an American ambulance driver (Gary Cooper) falls in love with a nurse (Helen Hayes, before she became the official First Lady of the American T ..."
