## Synopsis

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is a 1949 American Western film directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne, with Joanne Dru, John Agar, Ben Johnson, and Harry Carey Jr, in support. It is the second film in Ford's "Cavalry Trilogy", along with Fort Apache (1948) and Rio Grande (1950).

A major hit for RKO, it received its name from "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon", a song popular with the U.S. military.
