UNREMARKABLE...TALKY...BY-THE-BOOK...TECHNICOLOR TEDIUM
9 August 2021
Familiar Faces, Steve McNally, Jack Kelly, Hugh Marlowe, and Julie Adams Fill the Technicolor Frame Nicely.

It Seems an All-Out Effort to Infuse some Action, Suspense, Romance, and Govt. Vs Apache into a Laconically Paced Picture that Sputters.

The Talky Script Vacillates between Apache Angst, Government Fork-Tongued Treaties, and the Love-Interests of the Hemmed In White-Folks.

The Male-Female Alliances are Forever Switching Around, with the Clinging Dresses of Julie Adams and Jaclyn Greene a Highlight.

The Calvary Colonel's Xenophobia and the Tit for Tat Tale of the Apache Chief and the Soldier is as Boring as Possible.

Good Production Values Help but there is just too Much Talk.

The Action Lacks Flare or much Suspense and is Less than Visceral.

It's a By-the-Book Mediocrity.

Hardly Indistinguishable from the Many, Many, 50's Westerns.

For Western Fans who are Completest, its...

Worth a Watch

And Perhaps Others with Low Expectations.
