Just before dying from wounds received in a skirmish with Indians Capt. Forsythe orders his cavalry troop's doctor, Capt. Robert MacClaw, to take command. His men don't like it and think that Sgt. Elliott should have been put in temporary command until they reach the Fort. MacClaw admits he knows little of battle tactics but takes charge only with the promise that he will do the best he can. If anything, the men are embarrassed at having such an inexperienced man leading them and MacClaw agrees not to let on that he's a doctor. When they arrive at a staging post they are ordered by the Colonel in command of a group of infantry to escort a wagon train of settlers moving west. There may be smallpox among them however and MacClaw is caught between his promise to his men and the demands of Martha Cutting who is trying to deal with the epidemic.

| User ReviewRed L131205: Not too bad. Very large, long and action packed chase scene. The relationship between Capt.MacClaw and Martha was a little bit overdramatic but oh well, think that was related to the times. Good cavalry movie with unique twist. |
| User ReviewDave JWednesday, April 13, 2011 (1954) The Command WESTERN Simplistic storyline centering on a trained doctor turning into captain next in line, becomes successful into leading a cavalry and settlers through hostile indian territory! The bright 'technocolor', the look of the locales is excellent but very predictable sappy love story theme we've seen about a hundred times before and could be seen a mile away even before the two stars make their first kiss! The film does dwell little interest on cavalry strategy but not enough to anyone to even care! 2 out of 4 |
