Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The last and least memorable of John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy (following Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon), Rio Grande nonetheless has an interesting continuity about the gentlemanly rules of military conduct. Here the focus is on the family. While creating a heated controversy over his handling of the Apache war, John Wayne must also contend with disgruntled wife Maureen O'Hara and estranged son Claude Jarman Jr., a new recruit trying to earn his father's love and respect. Ford seems to suggest that there are two conflicting codes of honor in every cavalry officer's life, the personal as well as the professional, and that it takes an act of heroism to maintain both. It's fascinating to observe Wayne's progression throughout the trilogy, as his personal stakes intensify. Also, this is the first of five onscreen appearances between the Duke and O'Hara, each filled with a competitive spirit and stormy sexuality. --Bill Desowitz

A Quite Musical Western.......2007-05-24
One characteristic of this old black-and-white flick is the singing of old folk songs by the men of the US Cavalry. There is also a display of various cavalry skills. For instance, the mounted men must jump over a 6-foot fence.
Lt. Colonel Yorke (John Wayne) has his son in the cavalry unit, but pledges to treat him equally to everyone else. Yorke's son had failed West Point, and now wants to redeem himself in the US Cavalry. His mother (Maureen O'Hara) comes, and tries to have him removed from the unit. The other soldiers think that the son is privileged, and this leads to a fistfight.
The US Cavalry is fighting against the Apache Indians. Yorke is limited by the fact that he is forbidden to cross into Mexico to pursue the Apaches. The Mexicans have the opposite problem. This becomes obvious when Yorke meets with his Mexican counterpart on an isle in the middle of the Rio Grande.
In time, there is a savage Apache attack, and some children are kidnapped and taken across the border into Mexico. Yorke decides to disobey the directive and to cross the Rio Grande in pursuit of the Apaches and their hostages. Will his unexpected move catch the Apaches by surprise? Will he succeed in freeing the hostages? During the operation, he takes an arrow in the chest. Will he live?

This John Wayne Western movie is great.
I intend to make it a part of my DVD library
including other Western classics.
Rio Grande: The start of a great pairing.......2007-03-08
Rio Grande was conceived as a movie to pay for the making of another film. John Ford wanted to make a little film called "The Quiet Man" but Columbia Studios wanted a quick money maker to pay for the next production. The result was "Rio Grande." A classic in its own right, one that should not be missed. Directed by John Ford and starring Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne together for the first time. The story is what hyou should expect from Ford, good action and get characters. Look for many familar faces in this film, like Victor MacLagen, Chill Wills, Ben Johnson and Harry Carey Jr. This film is part of the fabled cavalry trilogy. It is rousing and exciting. Atrue classic, don't miss it.
The most sentimental of Ford's movies..........2006-11-08
Ford's cavalry trilogy is, in its way, just as much Victor McLaglen's trilogy, for he appears once again in 'Rio Grande', still superbly filling the tough-soft sergeant part, still providing the Ford horse-play comedy element with just a touch of parody, still, one might add, probably fulfilling Ford's own particular vision of revering the heroes who have helped conquer the West...
The McLaglen sergeant seems drawn on the spreading of lines, but in retrospect, one realizes that somehow, paradoxically, he has inspired a remarkable degree of realism into the three motion pictures... (They would be not the same without him.)
'Rio Grande' has a very strong domestic flavor...
John Wayne - a casualty of the Civil War - is a cavalry officer, under strict orders, with great family problems... He's a northerner who, not surprisingly, has left his wife, a southerner, because he obediently did his military duty and burned several southern plantations - including the one owned by his wife's family... Maureen O'Hara - bringing a fitting maturity to her stereotyped assignment in the film - never forgives her husband for burning her plantation, and abruptly takes their son and goes away, effectively ending their marriage...
Fifteen years later, Wayne, promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Cavalry officer, attempts to maintain the truce calm at his southwestern post, which is besieged by marauding renegade Apaches who are continually using the border with Mexico as an escape route after their raids, a lost cause since the U.S. and Mexican governments agreed that their military forces will not cross the Rio Grande under any circumstances...
He hurries to put down an Indian uprising when his past and his wife cross his path again... He is confronted by a new recruit: his West Point dropout son (Claude Jarman Jr.) and, later, the arrival of his frigid wife, desperate to buy her son out of the cavalry...
Everything, domestically and militarily is, of course, resolved successfully and, indeed, predictably, but it is the texture of the film that gives it its enjoyment - the gentle study of the reconciliation of a colonel and his estranged wife; the interplay of a father compelled to send his son on a dangerous mission; the peculiar supporting contributions of the 'beloved brute sergeant,' or the cavalry side-kicks, Ben Johnson and Harry Carey, Jr.
The three films (even considered singly) give a feeling of frontier military life, however colored by a director's highly personal viewpoint, that has hardly been approached, let alone surpassed...
There's a beautiful scene in which Wayne and Maureen are serenaded by soldiers of his troop... We can observe a husband meditating about all that went wrong with his marriage, and watch the inclination and desire that exist in his longing sideways brief look at his wife...
With first rate acting and lushly sentimental score, 'Rio Grande' can never be missed... It is the last of John Ford's cavalry movies and the most sentimental...
Very Fine 3rd Calvary Movie.......2006-09-24
The third and last of the calvary is also the weakest. That's not to say its a bad film. Rio Grande explores the Army officer's conflicted devotions to his family and to his uniform. The first half is quite good with Wayne contending with having both his son and his estranged wife (who's house he burned down in the Civil War) underfoot as he tries to do his job fighting the Indian Wars. Unfortunately, the second half of the film is a bit of a letdown. Instead of further developing the fascinating character of Wayne as an excellent soldier and poor father and husband, Ford gives the viewer far too many singing cowboy interludes and an elaborate and unconvincing fight sequence and daring rescue mission. Can't help but feel Ford and Wayne ducked a great opportunity in favor of easy action entertainment.

When his partner is killed, Gene finds himself in a border town where he must solve the murder and round up a gang of border smugglers. A beautiful Cantina singer, sidekick Pokie, the Cass County Boys, and Champion, Jr. are along for the ride in this film full of hell-for-leather action of a western combined with a thrill-packed whodunit.

No good cattlerustlers, Tex is a callin' you out.......2005-10-02
This time, it's a gang of no good, dirty rotten cattle rustlers that are stirring up trouble in the old west. We meet Tex Saunders (Tex Ritter) and his trusty sidekick (and comic relief) Chili (Syd Saylor) Headin' for the Rio Grande, but they are not the regular old cowpokes they appear to be at first glance. They rustle up some grub from Senator Black (Budd Buster), which is fortuitous for Black because the bad guys pick that time to show up and offer him "protection" for $1 a head. I don't know about you, but $1 a head seems more than a might steep, so it's no surprise when Black tells them to go spit in the river. Of course, the gang, having already given the guy fair warning and all about the dangers of cattle rustlers in the area, go ahead and try to steal the whole herd right then and there - never counting on Tex's dead-shot pistol-shooting prowess to be there to thwart their efforts. The hombres decide to go pick on another herd, this one led by Pop Hart (Charles K. French) and his lovely daughter Laura (Eleanor Stewart) - wouldn't it be funny if Tex showed up over there at the same time? Well, there you go. It turns out that Tex has come to Rio to help out the sheriff, who has been unable as of yet to round up the cattle rustlers.
You've just got to love Tex Ritter, even in early movies such as this 1936 classic. He could almost be a preacher with that voice and manner of speaking he has, and he really lays it on thick when he's outsmarting bad guys. Any villain worth his salt would have just despised good old Tex. This film features a whole heap of classic Tex Ritter cowboy songs, including the title track, A Campfire Love Song, and The Night Herding Song. Jailhouse Lament really steals the show, though, thanks to the comic genius of Syd Saylor, who doesn't particularly enjoy hearing a song about being hanged when he's sitting in jail on a murder charge. The ending of this particular film seems a tad rushed, but this is just your good old, entertaining Tex Ritter B-western.

Description
Of all the heroes of the Old West, few are as well loved or as easily recognized as the Cisco Kid, based on O'Henry's famous character. Together with his bumbling, but lovable amigo, Pancho, Cisco has entertained millions of children and adults for many years. This rough-in-tumble double-feature stars Duncan Renaldo as our dashing hero with Martin Garralaga and Leo Carrillo taking turns playing the ever-befuddled Pancho. In
South of the Rio Grande (1945), the daring duo go to the aid of a rancher friend and his neighbors, whose ranches are being terrorized by a ruthless dictator and a gang of horse thieves. In the second part of our double-bill,
The Girl from San Lorenzo (1950), Cisco and Pancho must track down a criminal gang which has been robbing stagecoaches - disguised as Cisco and Pancho!
Bonus Features: Scene Selection| Photo & Poster Gallery| Actor Bios| Bonus Color TV Episode| Interview with Duncan Renaldo.

"VCI presents three adventures of The Cisco Kid & Pancho".......2005-09-25
VCI Entertainment presents "The Cisco Kid Double Feature" (Dolby digitally remastered)...here's adventure, here's romance, here's O'Henry's famous Robin Hood of the Old West...the Cisco Kid featuring Duncan Renaldo as Cisco and Leo Carrillo as his comical sidekick Pancho, in the first film Martin Garralaga plays Pancho...relive those thrilling days from the early '40s and '50s when romance and drama took us down the dusty trails and the plains to exciting adventures.
First up of this double feature from Monogram Pictures is "South of the Rio Grande" (1945)...Under director Lambert Hillyer, producer Philip N.

Lewis (Miguel Sanchez), Lillian Molieri (Dolores Gonzalez), Francis Macdonald (Torres - chief henchman), Charles Stevens (Sebastian), Pedro Regas (Luis), Soledad Jimenez (Mama Maria), Tito Renaldo (Manuel Gonzalez) and some fine musicians The Guadalajara Trio...an early outing for Duncan Renaldo as Cisco with musical numbers taking front row at the beginning of our story...even Duncan Renaldo sings and romances just to get in thick with the thieves...will adventure take the form of undercover work for our hero and find out whose been rustling the cattle...can the evidence that Cisco discovers put an end to all murdering and trouble for the local people...this film is shot for the most part on a soundstage...another great film performed by many veteran actors during their heyday of the mid '40.

INTERVIEW with DUNCAN RENALDO
1. Very informative and enlightening interview tracing Duncan Renaldo's career of how he came to play "The Cisco Kid" plus behind the scenes with Leo Carrillo and various trailers.
2. In 1980, Renaldo received a Special Lifetime Achievement Award from Nosotros, which honored him for "providing a postive Hispanic role model for Americans"...and what's more states "The Cisco Kid" a perennial television favorite.
3. This DVD is dedicated in Loving Memory of Duncan Renaldo 1904-1980
Renaldo was in his '60s and Carillo in his '70s when they appeared at the "Firemen's Rodeo" in St. Louis during the '50s ~ my Grandmother and Great Aunt took me to see them, and I believe both of them had a crush on the two actors (Renaldo and Carrillo) came galloping out into the center of the arena, every kid in attendance was in awe, as I was and when the show was over, I rode my imaginary horse home.
Own them now on DVD....if you crave action, drama and plenty of adventure then this is the place for all of the above...if you enjoyed this serial check out another VCI Entertainment release the first big screen full length in color "Lone Ranger" (1956) (digitally remastered in Dolby), long running Lone Ranger series on radio and then turned out in the early '40s in the movies...it's all new and in Warnercolor the west's greatest hero...the story line is excellent with outstanding action scenes and production with over hours worth of entertainment
Great job by VCI Entertainment for releasing the digital transfere with a clean, clear and crisp print...looking forward to more of the same from the '40s vintage...order your copy now from Amazon or VCI Entertainment, stay tuned once again with a top notch serial from VCI...so saddle up and get ready for some hard riding and adventure that only The Cisco Kid and Pancho can deliver...just the way we like 'em!
Total Time: 145 mins on DVD ~ VCI Entertainment 8331 ~ (6/25/2002)
The Robin Hood of the West,"The CISCO Kid" comes to DVD!.......2002-10-28
Of all the Western heroes in the 1940's and 1950's the "Cisco Kid" (Duncan Renaldo) and his sidekick Poncho (Leo Carrillo)were the most loved and easily recognized. They were the first internationally accepted western stars.
Now through VCI Entertainment we have 3 great samples of "The Kid". The first installment a 1945 movie, "South of the Rio Grande" (Standard Format / Black & White - digitally remastered, excellent quality) is about the daring duo go to the aide of a rancher friend to thwart a terrorizing dictator. The second movie (1950), "The Girl from San Lorenzo" (also a Standard Format/ Black & White - not digitally remastered, fair quality) - has Cisco & Poncho tracking down a criminal gang which has been robbing stagecoaches disguised as them. (Cisco & Poncho) The third film is from "The Cisco Kid" tv show of the 1950's (Standard Format / in Color - not digitally remastered (fair quality).
The extra features include; Photo & Poster Gallery, Biographies & Interview with Duncan Renaldo.
You get alot with this double feature DVD. A great introduction or re-introduction to "The Cisco Kid". Duncan Renaldo is "Cisco" and Leo Carillo was the perfect "Poncho". For many movies & for several years this duo graced the big screen and our television sets with their lovable personalities.
This is fun family stuff. A real touch of western nostalgia. Enjoy.
