The Brattle Presents:
THE SEARCHERS
In this revered Western, Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) returns home to Texas after the Civil War. When members of his brother’s family are killed or abducted by Comanches, he vows to track down his surviving relatives and bring them home. Eventually, Edwards gets word that his niece Debbie (Natalie Wood) is alive, and, along with her adopted brother, Martin Pawley (Jeffrey Hunter), he embarks on a dangerous mission to find her, journeying deep into Comanche territory.
This film is showing in partnership with The Brattle Theatre and their series “The Fifties at Warners.”
Here’s more from The Brattle about this special event:
This landmark Technicolor VistaVision widescreen western from John Ford is best seen as big as possible… so we’re pleased to partner with our friends at the Somerville to show this on their giant screen!
