Is it because I’m not an American that I find John Ford so often problematical? In any case, Drums Along The Mohawk has too many of the things I don’t enjoy in Ford’s work – his mawkish sentimentality; the unappealing broad humour from his secondary characters (rely on Ward Bond to provide this); and a little too much patriotic flag-waving.
