Seminoles vs. Kiowas, 12 July 2003
7/10
Author: NewEnglandPat from Virginia

The U.S. cavalry enlists a tribe of transplanted Seminole Indians to help subdue the fierce Kiowas who have been raiding throughout the Oklahoma territory for years. Jeff Chandler's Major Brady faces stiff opposition to his plan from the fort's colonel who has reservations about the Seminoles' fighting ability and scoffs at Brady's attempts to train them in military tactics and plains warfare. One plot angle has a renegade white man rumored to be the mastermind behind the Kiowa raids while Brady romances pretty Maureen O'Hara whose Elaine Corwin may be a widow or an abandoned wife. The film has some nice battle sequences and great outdoors scenery. The pace is a bit uneven, and the major Indian attack at the end comes too late to give the film the kind of balance that would have made it a better western.
