Les deux cavaliers

Two Rode Together has one of most famous long sequence plan at riverbank ever made, Jim Stewart and Widmark sitting there and talking together about several minutes without any takes, they had to improvise their dialogues to fill up the range of the bold sequence, the picture brings the unusual character to Stewart, here is a corrupt and greedy Sheriff Gruthrie who take ten per cent of all business in Tascosa, when he is friendly invited for Lt. Jim Gary (Widmark) for order of Major Frazer (McIntire) to go to Fort Grant, there he knows his odd assignment, making a trade with Comanche's leader to bring back many kidnapped white children, girls and boys even a older woman, carefully to don't break the peace agreement Major Frazer is willing to sent Gruthrie with the Jim Gray as civil person, Ford print out his major trademark, the humor, plenty by the way most centered on the shubby Sgt. Posey (Devine) also a blatant racism over the free captives exposing them to devasting damages , in worst way on the woman as Elena (Linda Cristal), here there's no enough action, instead we have the study of human behavior, also even playing a crook Stewart display his other unknown face, marvelous acting, a fine movie from the best western director!!
