Great Movie!!This is one of the Duke's best films. Interestingly enough the film is actually based on L'Amour's short story "The Gift of Cochise" and was later expanded into the Novel "Hondo" after the success of the film. As one reviewer states it does have a John Ford feel, perhaps because the Duke was a stalwart in Ford's company of players. This movie was produced by the Duke's own production company and directed by John Farrow. I highly recommend it as well as the novel if you can find it. The novel has some interesting notes from Louis L'Amour about writing the full novel after the movie..Score: 5/5

Nederlands
Het is 1874. De blanken hebben een verdrag verbroken met de Apachen. De halfbloed indiaan Hondo Lane, koerier bij het Amerikaanse leger, ontdekt de jonge vrouw Angie Lowe en haar zoontje Johnny levend op een kleine ranch, dat binnen het gebied van de Apachen ligt.

Español
Los tambores de guerra apaches representan una clara y siniestra advertencia para Angie Lowe (Geraldine Page), una mujer que vive con su hijo Johnny en una granja aislada. Hondo Lane (John Wayne), un correo de la caballería, se convierte en protector de la testaruda mujer y en una figura paternal para su hijo. Angie, decidida a esperar el regreso de su marido, rehúsa dejar su hacienda a pesar de que el ataque de los indios es inminente. Al mismo tiempo, se siente cada vez más atraída por Hondo, un hombre endurecido por la vida, pero todavía capacitado para la simpatía, la amabilidad y el amor.

Dansk
Apache-indianernes krigstrommer lyder ildevarslende i ørene på en enlig, kvindelig farmer og hendes lille søn i denne spændende og mindeværdige John Wayne-klassiker. Wayne spiller Hondo Lane, en kavalerist, der skal beskytte den egensindige Angie Lowe (Geraldine Page) og bliver en slags faderskikkelse for hendes søn, Johnny (Lee Aaker). Angie venter stædigt på, at hendes brutale mand (Leo Gordon) skal vende hjem, og hun nægter at forlade farmen på trods af den stigende fare fra de krigslystne indianere i området. Samtidig fascineres hun mere og mere af den fremmede, Hondo - en barsk mand, der dog også er i stand til at føle både sympati, venlighed og kærlighed. Ward Bond, Michael Pate, James Arness og Rodolfo Acosta er med på rollelisten. Page fik en Oscar-nominering for bedste kvindelige birolle i filmen, der var en af hendes første.

Český
John Wayne jako osamělý jezdec na pláních plných indiánů. Americký western Hondo (1953) vznikl podle povídky Louise L'Amoura Cochisův dar, uveřejněné poprvé v časopise Collier's. Titulní postava v podání slavného Johna Waynea pracuje pro armádu jako kurýr a při jedné ze svých cest se seznámí s obyvateli osamělého ranče uprostřed indiánského území, mladou ženou Angií a jejím synem Johnnym. Když Apačové povstanou, Angie ho vydává za svého manžela, takže se na něho vztahuje ochranná ruka apačského náčelníka Vittoria, který z malého Johnnyho učinil svého pokrevního bratra... Snímek, jehož děj trochu připomíná známý western Shane z téže doby, režíroval Australan John Farrow pro produkční firmu Johna Waynea. Populární herec obdařil svého hrdinu všemi atributy soběstačného muže prérie, který si nenechá nic líbit, ale vždy stojí na straně potřebných. Jeho partnerkou v roli Angie byla ve filmu začínající broadwayská herečka Geraldine Pageová (překvapivě nominovaná za svou roli na Oscara).

From Director Roman Polanski comes the chilling classic that birthed a new direction in horror. From Ira Levin’s best-selling novel, "Rosemary's Baby" tells the story of a young newlywed couple who are expecting their first child. Like most first-time mothers, Rosemary (Mia Farrow) experiences confusion and fear. Her husband (John Cassavetes), an ambitious but unsuccessful actor, makes a pact with the Devil that promises to send his career skyward.

Back from EternityDrama1956

Eleven people crash-land in the jungle, but only five can make it out alive! John Farrow directs this tense thriller, based on his 1939 hit Five Came Back, about airline passengers downed in a South American rainforest. The survivors face hunger, fear and something even grislier: a tribe of headhunters. Their only hope of escape is the partially repaired airliner, so damaged it can only carry five people. But which five? Robert Ryan stars as the doomed plane's pilot. An excellent cast portrays the other survivors, including Rod Steiger as a convicted killer flying to a date with the executioner, '50s glamour queen Anita Ekberg as a jaded call girl, and veteran character actor Jesse White as a smalltime mobster. Who will come Back from Eternity?
