"Hondo" 1953 is a 3D western directed by John Farrow with John Ford directing the final scenes because Mr. Farrow had to leave to complete another film. The movie was shown in 3D, but many smaller theaters showed it in the traditional format. The story takes place in 1870 when the Army invalidates a treaty obligation that leads to a conflict with the Apache Nation.
Hondo Lane played by John Wayne is a dispatch rider and scout for the Army who arrives at the remote Arizona homestead of Angie Lowe played by Geraldine Page and her young son Johnny played by Lee Aaker. Leo Gordon is Ed Lowe who has abandoned his family. In this first rate film Michael Pate gives a strong performance as the Apache leader Vittoro.
