John Qualen

Based on John Steinbeck's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, this John Ford-directed classic chronicles the hardships of a family heading West to secure their future.

An epic, morally complex Technicolour adventure, The Searchers is legendary Western director John Ford’s most famous and influential film. John Wayne is loner antihero Ethan Edwards, who sets off on a bitter and relentless five-year search for his neice (Natalie Wood) and for Scar (Henry Brandon), the fearsome Comanche chief who abducted her.

John Ford's high seas drama set just as WWII begins, combining four Eugene O'Neill one-act plays... Features John Wayne, rather oddly playing an innocent Swedish farmer. Nominated for six 1941 Oscars.
