"Dakota" is not a perfect movie but it's still a fun watch. It does have a few dated elements to it but they're mostly forgiven. John Wayne is in fine form. He's given a lot of good lines and he delivers them well. His supporting cast is also good. His leading lady, Vera Ralston, is equal parts annoying/dreamy. With the exception of one forgettable song, the movie moves well. I'm a big fan of John Wayne. I watch his movies all of the time. I don't watch "Dakota" nearly as often as I watch his other films. But when I do watch it, I always enjoy it.
