Mean Spirted, Indian Hating Western, 6 November 2003
Author: filmnoirfilms-1 from Knoxville, TN

I've seen a lot of westerns but this film is probably the most racist piece of trash ever made. The action sequences are ok but the real problem with it is absolutely everybody is characterized to be pure evil, with the exception of Brian Keith who just appears to be stupid. Every Indian acts like a crazy, murderous savage and the hero (?), Heston (Over acting in the extreme) is the nastiest character in any western film history I've ever seen.

Don't waste your time!
