A Desaparecida
16/05/1956
Na sua décima segunda colaboração, John Wayne e o realizador John Ford produziram um magistral Western que pinta uma imagem indelével da fronteira do velho Oeste e dos homens que o conquistaram. Wayne interpreta um ex-soldado Confederado à procura da sobrinha raptada pelos mesmos Comanches que aniquilaram a sua família. Implacável, ele não se rende perante a fome, a sede, os elementos e a solidão... e nos cinco anos que dura a busca, ele vai encontrar algo inesperado: a sua própria humanidade. Enriquecido pela magnífica fotografia de Winston C. Hoch, a música comovedora de Max Steiner e as notáveis interpretações dum elenco que inclui Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles, Natalie Wood e Ward Bond, A Desaparecida permanece "um grande filme, de uma magnitude e beleza de tirar o fôlego" (Danny Peary, Guide for the Film Fanatics).
