Movie with John Wayne

Dear All

I am looking for a movie where John Wayne is the commander (lieutenant? Marshal?) of an army who has to train his soldiers. He is carrying a saber in that movie.

Does anyone of you have an idea which movie this could be?

Thank you for your answers

Yikes. That could possibly be one of the Wayne / Ford western trilogy, with Wayne playing a grizzled old cavalry officer: Rio Grande, Fort Apache (notice the sabres in the movie posters in the articles) or She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (I found a poster with Ben Johnson, not Wayne, wielding one).

He's also got a sabre in The Horse Soldiers, but I don't recall any training in it. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:10, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I remember that the movie was in color, that John Wayne had no mustache and had to defend his fort or fortress with his troops.--85.3.9.194 (talk) 16:27, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe The Alamo (1960 film)? --Jayron 32 19:26, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is the movie I have been looking for, thanks Jayron!--2A02:1205:5030:9C20:18F0:CDE7:1203:B984 (talk) 21:03, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
