An Original 1950 (from the first release of this movie in the U.K.) Vintage Theatrical English Movie Pressbook (English pb; measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 12 pages) (Learn More) She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, the classic 1949 John Ford romantic U.S. Cavalry cowboy western ("Epic Frontier Drama, John Ford's New and Finest Picture of the Fighting Cavalry!"; "Brave in every line! Thrilling in every scene! Romantic in every feature!") starring John Wayne, Joanne Dru, John Agar, Ben Johnson, Harry Carey Jr., Victor McLaglen, Mildred Natwick, George O'Brien, and Arthur Shields. Note that George O'Brien had been a World War I soldier and Navy boxing champion, and after he left the Navy, he worked as a stuntman, and in 1924, John Ford picked him to star in his historic epic "The Iron Horse". He became a major 1920s star, and worked consistently in the 1930s, and then he re-enlisted at the start of World War II, when he was over 40 years old! After the war, his old friend and mentor John Ford gave him parts in three westerns, including this one! Note that the song that is the basis of the title of this movie was written for this movie (and became very popular in the decades after), but variations of it as a song and poem had been around for four centuries! The first copyrighted version of this song was in 1917, and it was similar to this one. The yellow ribbon (originally "yeller") referred to the yellow neckerchief worn by members of the U.S. Cavalry in the 1800s, although earlier versions referred to different yellow ribbons.
