EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevySet in 1759, this well-produced film is one of the few period (pre-Revolution) pieces John Wayne made, and the second of his pictures with Claire Trevor; the others were Stagecoach and Dark Command.
User Review - 10/10 by Phenyezia OOutstanding movie John Wayne is my family favorite actor
User Review - 6/10 by Stephen T1939 was a certainly a good year for Westerns. John Ford's Stagecoach took the Western genre from pulpy, B-picture status to mainstream entertainment. Allegheny Uprising used the Western formula except it set the time in the 1750s and the location to western Pennsylvania (neither the traditional Wild West). It could be argued that Allegheny Uprising is an historical adventure/romance rather than a true Western, but that's splitting hairs. Unfortunately, unlike Stagecoach, Allegheny Uprising failed to make a profit at the box office and Warner Bros. Studio opted for more traditional Westerns. Although not super memorable, the John Wayne/Claire Trevor pairing gave the film some desperately needed chemistry between the stoic hero and the feisty heroine. While the Trevor and Wayne combo produced the desired chemistry, it never drew the sparks of a John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara matchup. Wayne still seems to be finding his footing as a leading man in this role and it definitely shows; what is perceived to be stoicism comes off as reticence. Nevertheless, it is definitely a film to check out if you're interested in alternative Westerns and early John Wayne.
User Review - 6/10 by Scott RA good story that despite some weaknesses in its telling still shines through.
User Review - 6/10 by Allan CJohn Wayne plays a wavy haired, coonskin-cap wearing frontiersman. That's about all you need to know about this entertaining though thoroughly routine colonial tale of Wayne taking on corrupt British captain George Sanders. Claire Trevor plays the love interest, who falls for Wayne despite his mullet.
User Review - 6/10 by jay nNot a bad western here.. Though it really ISN'T a western is it? John Wayne does face the indians here, but his main focus is the British redcoats, and he's trying to lead the American way of life.. if only the pesky brits wouldnt get in the way. Luckily, Wayne's in the olden days of America, so the Brits don't stand a chance. Claire Trevor is in there too, for what reason I have yet to fathom.
User Review - 6/10 by Dean MJohn Wayne and Claire Trevor were reteamed the same year of their costarring triumph in 1939's Stagecoach for this potboiler set in the pre-Revolutionary American colonies, but the results were hardly as auspicious. Still, it's a decent time passer and features Brian Donlevy in one of his better villain roles.
User Review - 6/10 by Tracey cJohn Wayne takes on a crooked military captain, who is assissting smuglers. Fairly average, and somewhat dated by today's standards, but for the time this would have been a pretty solid film. Also what miltary advantage can be gained from all the soldiers wearing white wigs?
User Review - 6/10 by Mike LAmerican idealism underpins this Colonial pioneer adventure, but John Wayne was a master with this theme and doesn't look out of sorts here. Claire Trevor is also in her prime.
User Review - 4/10 by Greg Wmostly stupid and boring with a very weak plot
