Leave your thoughts about Distant Drums.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzMight not be top notch Walsh but is still enjoyable. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThough not one of director Raoul Walsh's or star Gary Cooper's best actioners, the movie has some good moments due to visual style and on-location shooting. |
| User ReviewKevin M. WThe Coop battles bad Native Americans (the Seminoles) who're patriotically fighting for their land, their culture, their very survival against the usual murderous invaders ... oh well. Anyway, the action happens in that American jungle called the Everglades (second only to the Grand Canyon insofar as National Parks go if you ask me) which Coop's buddy (Arthur Hunnicutt in the role he practically patented in a half a dozen flickers, the second banana/friend gone nearly native) keeps warning us "nobody gets outta that alive". On the way we pick up a comely redneck gal so Coop gets some romancing in as any break in the action dictates. Typical stuff, though location shooting enlivens the piece. |
| User ReviewOrlok WA small group of adventurers facing Indians during Seminola war in the Florida Everglades... Mighty adventure booms--This interesting Western and action film makes it of the finest of Raoul Walsh genre entries... Not your usual oater!! |
| User ReviewSandy CUnusual Western with Gary Cooper leading US troops back from a raid against the Seminole Indians through the Florida Everglades. Featuring some great, lush underwater camerawork and superb support as per usual from Arthur Hunnicutt as the grizzled guide. |
| User ReviewKato HNot a very well known movie, but worth watching... |
| User ReviewErika AThere's a couple of interesting scenes in terms of 50's Hollywood cinema, but on the whole, apart from being historically inaccurate it is a lame escape from 'Indians' film. |
