My great great great grandfather had a slave named Lucy he sold to his son. I presume as their nanny, cook and friends of the 10 kids they had. Paperwork showed he sold her to his son for $750 dollars. I'm sure the family loved her dearly. It was a rough, cruel time in American History. I sure wish Lincoln could have solved this civil before 700k Americans died. Historical records show he could have but would not. I guess in the end he was the last true casualty of the war outside of the countless wounded that went on to die after the war.
It was from this action ('The Great Locomotive Robbery' aka 'The Andrews Raid' aka 'The General' -& The Texas), that the US Medal of Honour was inaugurated - It is NOT a western film, the action took place during the 'War Between the states' aka 'The American Civil War; - this action took place entirely between the Eastern States - only thick idiots do not know the difference.

I must say the song, or what it is, sounds very funny. Hardly no sound. I don´t it deserves five stars, only a minus for opening credits song. Otherwise I think the movie is great. I will watch it now.
I never considered this a western. yeah, they're on horses, but they're in Mississippi fighting a war. It's a war movie. That said, it's a great movie: one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing it here.
Una grata sorpresa ver de nuevo este gran filme clásico del inmortal "Duke" junto con otras luminarias de esa era dorada del cine. Simplemente genial de principio a fin. Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.
Many of Marion Morrisons (John Wayne's), early films are now available in a colourised version, I recommend watching them (Download & enjoy them at your convienence), all are worth a viewing - and half decent when watched in colour
Good movie , great cast. Athena Gibson ( Lukey) won a tennis grand slam Wimbledon, US Open National , French Open. Female athlete of the year 1958. She was one of the greatest players that ever lived .
Para mí es la mejor película que hizo John Wayne. Trama, ambientación, desarrollo, desenlace, entretenida, divertida. Su actuar es notable y sublime. De las manos de John Ford, sacaba lo mejor de él. Parece no actuar, todo lo hace real. Es una peliculaza y con gran reparto. 👍👍👍🧎🧎🧎👏👏👏👌👌👌
I used to live across the river from Natchez, had a LOT of good times visiting Jefferson Davis Military Academy for boys. They had the sweetest well water there, and the creek behind it was a awesome place to hang out and explore as a kid. There was an old Charity hospital in Natchez that we used to explore after school and had a lot of fond memories there as well. Natchez is rich in history. Waking up to the sounds of the music coming off the river from the Mississipi and Delta Queen paddle boats is a cherished memory.
@@maggieyanor5082 It was a nice place to grow up, lots to explore. The scent of the Magnolia trees, the antebellum homes, Natchez was also the place where Jim Bowie got his fame from the Bowie Knife fight at Natchez under the hill (the place the river boats used to dock. The only shot fired in the taking of Natchez was a canon shot and the ball is still stuck in the wall of one of the old antebellum homes there. Some of the homes had false windows and trap doors, hidden passageways etc. The old hospital I spoke of had 4 floors and while exploring I saw a hole in the ceiling and drug a desk over and stood on my friends shoulders to look inside to find a hidden staircase, I crawled through the ceiling and went up to the staircase to find a glass dome room on top of the hospital. I found out later thats where they did surgeries because it was before they had electricity and they used the light of the sun to operate by. There were also fire escape tubes that were installed outside the building, we used to crawl in them and slide down it was so much fun once we cleared out all the debris that was jamming them up lol
The Horse Soldiers 1959. During the Civil War, Colonel John Marlowe (John Wayne) is tasked with leading a Union cavalry division to raze a Confederate railroad depot. Marlowe faces further challenges as a result of his frequent disagreements with the regiment's surgeon, Major Henry Kendall (William Holden), and the presence of Miss Hannah Hunter (Constance Towers), a Southern belle who overhears Marlowe's secret plans and is brought along to prevent her from spreading the word.
Great film, slight historic flaw of people worrying about going to Andersonville prison camp 9 months before it came into existance but thats Hollywood.
😂 ¡ Pero que buena película, en verdad ! ¡ La he visto infinidad de veces desde hace más de 50 años, tanto en el cine como en televisión, e incluso la tengo en formato DVD y no me canso de verla. Toda la trama es interesante de principio a fin. La recomiendo ámpliamente ! 😂
What a great actor we have lost all the best actors and actresses. I had nearly everyone of his movies some hard to get ones, I bought a lot from the USA ones I couldn’t get in Australia, and about 20years ago my ex took them all and burned them,
Excellent movie. See the movie "Field of Lost Shoes" about what really happened with the kids from the academy. Many of them didn't make it back from the battle.
Different battle. The "Horse Soldiers" is based on the Grierson's Raid of April 17 to May 2, 1863. The battle involving the Virginia Military Institute in "Field of Lost Shoes" is the Battle of New Market, Virginia, May 15, 1864, a year later than the Grierson's Raid.

I remember this movie at the Drive-In having really fine music, but this has been chopped up so the censor can't detect the copywrite infringement and delete the film.

I have always loved this movie! I was wondering if the homestead, 'Greenbriagh' was also the homestead used for 'Forest Gump'? Having now looked it up; I discovered that 'Greenbow' (Forest Gump) was constructed for the filming of the movie. Both movies have such great messages, humour and pathos. 'The Searchers' is also a favourite (We had to read it in my first year of High School in 1975): How the 'Duke' didn't win an Oscar for that performance is beyond me. The tension/attraction between 'Ethan' and 'Martha' is so palpable. The scene where 'Ethan' 'confesses' about 'Laurie' is harrowing: "as long as you live; don't you ever ask me again!" I have always thought that the movie is inferring that she was in fact HIS daughter. They just don't make 'em like they used to.
Started to watch this movie which I have seen many times before but something was not working with the sound as the opening credit song was all messed up. Maybe just my TV but other video sound tracks were working just fine.
Why is this movie referred to as a "Western"? It supposedly depicts a Union raid through the state of Mississippi during the US Civil War. That would make it an "Eastern"...wouldn't it? I'm not meaning to knock the movie. It's a really good movie.
Bc the 30 yr old egghead loading it probably doesn't even KNOW the name ..let ALONE beloved John Wayne .....but grateful it's here just the same ... I still own it on VHS...yea
Does show compassion that Americans had for each other than the uniforms. Even compassion for the slaved color people. Lots of contradiction in emotions.
Tell that to all of the soldiers buried in all the military cemeteries around the world they to probably not cut out to be combatants either. Why some of them could have been great surgeons or mechanics or husband's and fathers etc
From Wikipedia. Wayne was exempted from service due to his age (34 at the time of Pearl Harbor) and family status (classified as 3-A - family deferment). Wayne repeatedly wrote to John Ford saying he wanted to enlist, on one occasion inquiring whether he could get into Ford's military unit. Wayne did not attempt to prevent his reclassification as 1-A (draft eligible), but Republic Studios was emphatically resistant to losing him, since he was their only A-list actor under contract. Herbert J. Yates, president of Republic, threatened Wayne with a lawsuit if he walked away from his contract, and Republic Pictures intervened in the Selective Service process, requesting Wayne's further deferment. If you're going to make a career of lying get better at it. DeNiro and Fonda are still sucking air, for the moment, con them out of some acting lessons. At least garnish enough personal pride to become competent at the craft.
64 years old ... and still great! That's incredible!
John Wayne, William Holden , Constance Towers, Ken Curtis (Festus)...........great cast & movie.
Festus? Where's Newly? This ain't Gunsmoke.
@@carywest9256 Not Gunsmoke, but Ken Curtis (Festus) is credited at 1:11. Any doubt, sheriff?
A son of the pioneers was Ken.
@@DavidPerry-do6xt never knew that, 👍
@@danrooc lze being sarcastic in my own way, yeah Ken Curtis was a great character actor. Liked him in The Searchers also.

One of the best John Wayne Movies ever produced
Agree but I love all his movies

John Wayne as Ethan Edwards in The Searchers was an unreconstructed Confederate. A very dark role, but one of the best movies ever made.
That's true but I believe he didn't like that movie at all!!!
If you white... you alright!!!
@@Glenn-em3hvEthan is easily the most complex character of the actor's career, and The Searchers was also one of John Wayne's favorite films of his own
No matter how many times we watch this amazing western, we enjoy it almost as much as the first time. Thanks for sharing.
Why don't you put the name of the movie on screen!?
William Holden and John Wayne were 2 great actors that complemented each other on the silver screen. 2 great talents.
My great great great grandfather had a slave named Lucy he sold to his son. I presume as their nanny, cook and friends of the 10 kids they had. Paperwork showed he sold her to his son for $750 dollars. I'm sure the family loved her dearly. It was a rough, cruel time in American History.

John Wayne and William Holden together in a western movie? Man that's just awesome.

The opening credits song alone deserves five stars.

WE NEED MORE MEN LIKE JOHN WAYNE IN THIS WORLD A TRUE MAN
JOHN WAYNE IS MY HERO LOVED THE MAN SO MISSED 🥰💋💜
From Canada...AGREE 100%!!!!
John Wayne was an actor, nothing more!! Your country had many many thousands of men and women who were much better to look up to during those years.
Many of Marion Morrisons (John Wayne's), early films are now available in a colourised version, I recommend watching them (Download & enjoy them at your convienence), all are worth a viewing - and half decent when watched in colour
I'd rather watch them the way they were meant to be seen ....in glorious black and white.
Beautiful colours on this movie.

Don't we all just love this man, John Wayne
No not all😊
Was a big presence…his voice was commanding
If you white... you alright!!!

Great movie. Great actors. I love it.
The Horse Soldier s... great...its in my collection of VHS & DVD tapes .i still have.you can play them on a flatscreen TV ..
Superb movie
This movie came out the year I was born in 1959. But the big blockbuster money maker movie for that year was Ben-Hur. Too bad it's not free on YT.
Thanks will watch it later
Bloody Good Movie >> Thank You

Thank you for that. I am a Canadian and have no knowledge of that area or history. So wonderful. I had to say something.
@@maggieyanor5082 It was a nice place to grow up, lots to explore.

John Wayne was the best cardboard cutout ever to perform as an actor.
It was a postwar movie but when Mr. Wayne comes home in the beginning of the movie "The Seachers" he is in a Confederate uniform.
That's right. He has beef with Union vet and preacher Ward Bond, right?
Use to have this on vhs yrs ago
Great classic, thanks.
👏🏽thank you😘
Para mí, la mejor interpretación de John Wayne y sin duda su mejor película.

Too bad they had to mess up the music at the start of the movie. Guessing that is still copy righted.
splendido film

Have you forgotten about the searchers he was a Confederate soldier
Outstanding movie! Too bad the sound was terrible on this one!

Is it against TH-cam rules for these movies to display the real title to these movies?
Started to watch this movie which I have seen many times before but something was not working with the sound as the opening credit song was all messed up. Maybe just my TV but other video sound tracks were working just fine.
How about posting THE GREEN BERET with Wayne

Western is the genre Eastern is a location so no not Eastern its a Western 😊
I tried watching this but he has commercials every 3 or 4 minutes, that gets old fast.
Shame the Audio is so distorted as to make the film unwatchable.
Does TH-cam not allow movie title names? It's not the first time I've it

Stupid volume on phone
Traduzir para o portugues estamos no brasil.
Not as GREAT as audie Murphy now there is a real soldier !!!!!
Only Hollywood soldiers would
bother taking dress uniforms along on a field exercide during wartime.
So much military strategy wrong here with both sides
Ever wondered why the same faces repeatedly feature in Wayne movies?
Good movie. Too bad we can t hear the music, because it s a confederate song...
lol. No, it's because of copyright issues, same reason the title of the movie isn't in description.
Stop looking for reasons to be aggrieved.
Does show compassion that Americans had for each other than the uniforms. Even compassion for the slaved color people. Lots of contradiction in emotions.
John Wayne was a Draft Dodger and got BOOOED off of USO stages during WWII!
He was a fine actor. Nit everyone is meant for war.

@@billthomas555 Big difference, they served!!
They did, but most had no choice. Blokes like Wayne only played at soldiers in a safe film studio and people thought he was the hero go figure
