Drums Along the Mohawk
We apologize for this monochrome trailer, which accompanied the 1947 black and white re-issue of the John Ford classic, his first in vibrant Technicolor! To replace a battle he didn’t have time to shoot, Ford put Henry Fonda against a wall, peppered him with questions about what took place as the actor improvised the battle scenario. This take, with Ford’s voice removed, took the place of the action scene.
