Interesting Western, 14 October 2002
Author: pst from New York

Cheyenne Harry (Harry Carey) is a ranch hand who gets engaged to the owner\\\'s daughter Molly. However, she falls for the charms of city dude Thornton and runs off to marry him. When she finds that neither Thornton nor New York City high life to be to her taste, she sends a letter to Harry, who comes to New York and rescues her with some help from the other ranch hands.
A very well done movie, with a nice mix of action, drama and humor, though the beginning is a bit slow.
The French digital restoration is very nice, with scratches and most other damage to the print removed.
The second John Ford film after Straight Shooting (1917) known to survive.

Great Early Ford, 3 March 2005
Author: bfrom Belgium

Farm hand Cheyenne Harry (Harry Carey), is engaged to Helen, his boss\\\' daughter. When a rich trader from the city arrives, he charms her off her feet and whisks her away. Poor Helen soon learns that them city folk ain\\\'t decent (this is a red-state-movie) and it\\\'s up to Cheyenne and his buddies to set things straight.
It could have been a run-of-the-mill, dime-a-dozen comedy western but Ford\\\'s mastery is ever present, using deep focus composition in the wide landscape shots, or striking chiaroscuro lighting in the romantic scenes, proving that he never learned to be a great director: he was one right from the start.

Rediscovered John Ford western, 12 February 2005
Author: Bc from Brady, TX USA


This film was thought lost, but re-discovered recently and restored in France. The story is simple. Cheyenne Harry, a cowboy, gets engaged to the ranch boss\\\' daughter, Helen. Unfortunately, a city slicker comes to town and quickly steals her heart away. She skips town to the surprise of Cheyenne and her father. However, New York does not work out very well for her.
Although this is a cheap Universal western, it has plenty of John Ford touches and themes that fans of Mr. Ford will appreciate. There is the typical drinking after work scene, and a big fist-fight involving cowboys. There is typical Ford humor also, such as when Harry tries on a new pair of pants in the general store, or he mistakes a hissing radiator for a rattlesnake.
The \\\"horse-breaking\\\" scene was unimaginatively filmed in extreme long shot. On the other hand, the proposal scene was shot at night with either simulated or actual firelight and it is beautiful. There are also unusual close-ups (for the time) of Harry Carey\\\'s face as well as his boots and a valentine charm he carves. Although the story is nothing special, the direction shows how talented John Ford was early in his career. Recommended for silent film and John Ford fans!

I had not previously seen a very early John Ford film, but his directorial tropes are clearly evident here. The plot, though simple, is effective and I was happy to watch it all through (which is not something I could say about the last multiplex film I went to.
Running time in this version is 52:11, and it made me watch \\\'The Searchers\\\' again to see if I could spot William Steele as he was 40 years after this film!

A cowpoke has his promised gal snatched away to the big city by an underhanded dude who comes to the ranch and somehow tames the stallion that\\\'s already killed four men. Harry beats a hasty path to New York intent on winning his girl back. Ford\\\'s easily recognizable style is quite intact even in this early feature. A beautiful opening shot shows a lone cowboy on his horse, standing on a cliff with the winding river below as riders cross. When Carey loses his girl and ponders what he must do next, Ford places him in the foreground rise of a low valley, with a look of steely-eyed determination, while the heard grazes below in the distance. The finale includes an all-out brawl between the dude, Carey and their respective gangs.
In the post-show discussion with Harry Carey Jr. and Ford biographer Joseph McBride, Mr. Carey described Jack Ford\\\'s directorial style and fight scenes. \\\"He just let you go and said \\\'fight!\\\' I broke three ribs once.\\\"

Thanks to the original ripper/RS uploader.
