YMMV / Two Rode Together

• Anti-Climax Boss: After all the build-up, Stone Calf is killed rather unceremoniously.
• Spiritual Successor: An even darker variation on The Searchers, with many of the same actors playing similar roles (eg. Henry Brandon as another Comanche Indian chief, John Qualen as a Swedish immigrant).
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: It's a black comedy about the difficulties of reintegrating settlers held captive by Comanches into American society. The protagonist is James Stewart playing drastically against-type as an amoral mercenary. There's little of the action or scenery expected from a Western and one heck of a Bittersweet Ending. Needless to say, it's not one of John Ford's most popular movies.
