Leave your thoughts about 7th Cavalry.
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostDisappointing Western, saved only by a few touches by director Lewis. |
| User ReviewAllan CI liked it a lot. To me this movie was a sort of noir movie... More than a pure western. Soldiers were the bad guys, since invaded the land of native Americans or not? |
| User ReviewJohn YReally great western. It takes a lot of historical liberties, but it's great old fashioned fun. |
| User ReviewGreg Wi remember seeing this as a kid and loved it like john wayne with a randolph scott western its always good |
| User ReviewPaul CAlthough it is a little one dimensional in story, this western is solid enough to enjoy. |
| User ReviewLuke TUnfortunately, this is not one of Randolph Scott's great films but it is definitely not his worst. Here he plays Captain Tom Benson, a man who finds himself accused of being a coward when he does not show up at the Little Big Horn. But he soon volunteers to bring the General Custer back to the Horn. Barbara Hale does try her best, but the movie suffers from a lack of pace and tension. Director Joseph H Lewis could have added more emotion to the film, which could and should have been better. But despite that, it is one respectable cowboy film and it is saved from being a total disaster due to the OK performance from Scott. However the best thing is the excellent cinematography to be provided in technicolour. |
| User ReviewJeff ZInteresting Randolph Scott western where he plays "Custer's favorite" troop commander who went away to fetch his fiance (Barbara Hale, Della Street from "Perry Mason") right before Custer managed to lead his men into the slaughter at Little BigHorn. Somehow people seem to think this was a cowardly act on his part and that he missed the massacre on purpose. So he spends the movie having to prove he's no coward. What makes it interesting is Scott's character constantly defends Custer's actions, proclaiming the Army is trying to "whitewash" the event and that it was really Major Reno and Major Benteen's fault. Today most historians believe the exact opposite and that Custer's recklessness, pride and negligence was the reason for the Little Bighorn, thus making Scott's character 100% wrong. Barbara Hale is good but she's way too young for Scott, who looks to be about the same age as the actor playing her father. Harry Carey Jr. has a nice part as Custer's bugler. |
