Two Rode Together (1961)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by John Ford
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Sony Movie Channel)

This dreary John Ford western pairs Jimmy Stewart and Richard Widmark as old friends reunited to barter with the Indians for the return of white captives. The "friends" don't really like each other, Stewart spends too much time drunk on whiskey or running off at the mouth and the "white captives" are grown Comanche children who don't want to be reunited with their former families. However, watching both Stewart and Widmark romance two girls half their age may be the most unbearable part of the movie.
