JohnA’s review published on Letterboxd:
Nicely done John Ford film, for several reasons: the documentary-like shots of the Indian people in the streets and at the train station, the obvious fascination he has with military life, dwelling on drills and wake-up calls, and using a child as his typical hero--loner, sees beyond the more temporal concerns of others, and brings people together. Not as well done as some of his later work, but an interesting intro to some of his themes.
