A Western spoiled by boring dialog!
23 November 2000
Warning: Spoilers
Six cavalrymen, led by strong Broderick Crawford, survive a devastating Indian raid on a plains town...

After a hundred-mile desert hard journey, they are joined by a collection of stranded stagecoach passengers, a wandering group of different types in the true John Ford-derivative tradition, ranging from heroine Barbara Hale to a murder suspect and an Indian lad (Johnny Stewart).

Almost needless to say, the reserve cavalry arrive just before it is too late, to save laconic Crawford and his contingent from a redskin massacre...

Barbara Hale appears properly harried yet brave, but she has little duty to perform in this conventional B-film helped a little by color photography but spoiled by boring dialog...
