John Ford’s cavalry trilogy

Why is this not being processed factually? With Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) and Rio Grande (1950), John Ford created his famed trilogy of Western-Drama-War (military, indian-attack-indian-war) films. All should have those three genres (with Rio Grande also correctly and only having Romance as a genre), but original submissions and many resubmissions have, for some unknown reason, been denied. Why? Latest resubmissions: 250613-153804-353000 Track Contribution 2025-06-13 15:38:04 Rio Grande (1950) Genres - 1 item added 250613-153653-454000 Track Contribution 2025-06-13 15:36:53 Fort Apache (1948) Genres - 1 item added 250613-153545-199000 Track Contribution 2025-06-13 15:35:45 She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) Genres - 2 items added
