With Harry Carey, Jr., Ben Johnson, Joanne Dru.One of his most personal and poetic films, Wagon Master was the western that Ford said “came closest to what I hoped to achieve.” The story about a Mormon wagon-train expedition across Utah that joins up with a traveling medicine show and then a group of outlaws is bathed in gentle nostalgia and warm comedy.
