Hondo

John Farrow directs John "The Duke" Wayne as Hondo, an anti-social half-breed who splits his time between the white man and the Apache. Preferring the company of Indians, Hondo develops an unlikely friendship with a New Mexico farm wife (Geraldine Page), who, thanks to a gallivanting husband, spends most of her time alone. Page's performance -- her first film role -- was good enough to earn her an Oscar nomination.
