Disturbing Western of obsession and racism which has become Ford's most influential film, in which Wayne gives his most ambiguous performance, being no longer a simple gung-ho hero, but a tormented loner out of step with his society. Its themes of loss an

Worthy of classic status?
The Searchers is one of those films regularly quoted in the critics 'best films of all time' and is one of those films that I feel that I ought to have ... read more »
