SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON (1949) as issued by RKO Vintage original b/w 8x10" photograph in good condition with bottom border trimmed John Ford’s She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) is a Technicolor Western masterpiece and the middle entry in his famed Cavalry Trilogy, bookended by Fort Apache (1948) and Rio Grande (1950). It stars John Wayne as Captain Nathan Brittles, a seasoned officer facing retirement while tasked with one final mission: escorting civilians to safety amid rising tensions with Native tribes following the Battle of Little Bighorn. 🎖️ Wayne’s performance—more introspective than his usual rugged fare—earned praise for its depth, and Winton C. Hoch’s cinematography won an Oscar for its painterly use of Monument Valley landscapes, inspired by Frederic Remington’s frontier art.
