Not bad at all, 10 October 2001
Author: (shoshone) from London

I resisted watching this for a long time as the title along with the thought of Audie Murphy surrounded by a fort full of drooling women put me off! I was pleasantly surprised, however. The mostly mature women were by no means lovesick or drooling and romance was kept to a welcome minimum. The way Audie Murphy whips them all into shape in preparation for the imminent indian attack makes for some amusing moments. He doesn't pull any punches (bullying them, slapping them, throwing them in fight demonstrations, shouting at them) as he realises their very lives are at stake. Sure the movie has its faults but its not bad for what it is and Audie gives a good performance. He doesn't look half bad either!
