Amazon.com:
Nineteen thirty-nine is often proposed as the movies' halcyon year, and three reasons why were directed by John Ford: Stagecoach, Young Mr. Lincoln, and Drums Along the Mohawk. In that exalted company Drums... would have to be accounted "merely superb"--even if it's the best film ever made about the American Revolution and, oh, only about eighth-best picture of its year.
Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert play newlyweds in New York's Mohawk Valley at the time of the Revolutionary War. That war is more a distant rumor than a direct concern of people with cabins to raise, crops to harvest, and firstborn on the way. When it comes to their valley, in the form of hitherto-peaceable Indians whipped up by a gaunt Tory with an eyepatch (John Carradine), life changes as though with the passing of a cloud shadow.
In this, his first color film, Ford created indelible images of the dawning of America: a lone wagon making its way through acres of long grass rippling in the wind; the Indians, at the onset of their first raid, seeming to materialize out of the mist, out of the very trunks of trees; a ragged line of farmers with flintlocks passing along a split-rail fence, then resolving into a column, an army, marching toward a distant horizon. (Utah's Wasatch mountain country stands in persuasively for upstate New York in pioneer days.) Edna May Oliver scored a best-supporting-actress Oscar nomination as a memorably crusty frontier widow, while Ward Bond--oddly omitted from the opening credits--claimed a place of honor in the John Ford Stock Company playing Fonda's best friend. --Richard T. Jameson

The third of John Ford's three films from 1939, and second in a row starring Henry Fonda is a lavish Technicolor adaptation of a 1936 bestselling novel of the same name by Walter D. Edmonds. The second western in color after JESSE JAMES earlier that year, which also starred Fonda, it's Ford's first color film and the only one he made before 1948's THREE GODFATHERS. It's a revolutionary-era frontier film, so it can be seen as sitting astride both the war and western genres, though on the whole I ... Read More

In his initial book on baseballThe Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract Bill James when picking the best baseball players of all time he comments on how sometimes talent stacks at positions. This is a great description of the movies of 1939.
Drums Along the Mohawk is sometimes forgotten because of epics like Gone with the Wind and Stagecoach and the Wizard of Oz just as Duke Snider is because of Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio. In almost any other year this might ... Read More

Splendid film about the trials and tribulations of the early settlers of the New York Mohawk Valley during the American Revolution. Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert play a newlywed couple who settle there. Fonda was raised there but assimilation is a bit difficult for his prim and proper spouse who came from a big town. The days are challenging with the couple and their neighbors having to work the land, produce food, and raise their families under the constant threat of the native Mohawks who side ... Read More

A very gripping movie. I'd call it a great classic about the Revolutionary War period. The color & the scenery are beautiful, the actors & actresses quite memorable. Movies like this are too good to forget.
