The Searchers with John Wayne and Natalie Wood

Classic John Wayne movie directed by John Ford. The story is of a Comanche raid on settlers where the family is killed and the young daughters are kidnapped. One is killed, the youngest (approx 12 yrs old), played by Natalie Wood,  is taken and made one of the wives of the leader of the tribe. The Duke, takes out after her and goes on a five year mission to find his niece. He is accompanied by her adopted brother, who is half Cherokee, and never showed any respect by the Duke. The fight scenes are realistic and the landscape is magnificent. Interesting side notes include the valley that this was shot in was the same valley that Ford used for half a dozen other movies, including Stagecoach, John Wayne's first movie. This was the first movie in this location filmed in 

Technicolor, showing the beauty of the area. And Natalie Wood's younger sister plays her role as the young girl that was the focus of the search, when she was abducted as a child. 

Great movie, if you like westerns, this is the bomb.
