Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Actor Stuart Randall, playing Standing Bear, had all his lines re-dubbed with another actor's voice after filming was completed. Apparently the producers finally realized that most Canadian Indians do not, like Randall, have a distinct Texas accent. more

A fine western adventure, 12 July 2003
8/10
Author: NewEnglandPat from Virginia

Tyrone Power is the intrepid title character whose mission is to order the return of the Cree tribe from the United States back to Canada in the name of the Queen. Of course, the Indians just want to hunt and return to their old way of life and to lift a few scalps along the way. Power is aided by a trail-savvy, talkative half-breed scout who can spot hidden war parties a mile off and fugitives from justice with equal measure. The film has more dialogue than action, although white hostages held by the Indians lead to some tense moments for Constable McDonald's peace efforts. The Mountie is also befriended by a little Indian boy who proves to be a mighty warrior in the final reel. The movie has a great cast of western character actors and the camera work is very good.
