With his back on the trunk of a great tree growing from the bank of a great river, he looks up from a law and says to himself: "Rights of life, reputation, and liberty, rights to acquire and hold property. Wrongs are violations of those rights. By gee, that's all there's to it. Right and wrong. Maybe I have to begin to take this stuff serious." At that moment, an American hero is born. The movie has little to do with real history, but lots to do with the cinematic poetry of director John Ford. (See movie times, www.thestranger.com, for details.)
