| User ReviewJack SVery good and underrated Western with Murphy solid as always in the lead role. Nice little sub-plot with the army traitor trying to sell snazzy new lever-action rifles to the Apache. |
| User ReviewDavid WRoutine though competently made cavalry vs. indians western. Real life WWII hero Audie Murphy is a cavalry captain trying to get a shipment of gun though to Apache land to fight an indian uprising. Besides perspective on who are the real villains are in these types of westerns, this is an entertaining and picturesque western, despite it's many faults (the terrible narration being the worst) if you're a fan of the genre. |
| User ReviewPaul DSo-so Murphy film and among his last. Few folks are goodies herenot even the Apachesand Murphy has to play almost the lone good guy (while romancing Stephens) and put things straight. Too much dialogue throughout and out of step with better westerns of this era. |
