    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Julie Adams arrives at this remote Western outpost with an extravagant, impossible to maintain, and difficult to wear wardrobe that never gets soiled or wrinkled, but provides a constant change of costumes in every changing sequence.
    • Goofs
      When indians start to surround the landing stage someone says they've only got the guns in the house but when the sheriff goes to the stable to get his horse there's at least one gunbelt with bullets seen hanging up.
    • Quotes

      Colonel Morsby: We scattered them from Mexico to California. We broke their ranks, and they re-formed. We burnt their villages, and they lived in caves. They have a will to survive, a passion for life, that shames any white man's. It never dies. Nothing destroys the Apache but death.

    7/10
    Suspenseful western drama
    An engaging western with a bit meat in the character department, and consequently there's some talking but the exciting action sequences prevent the film from becoming dull. The underrated Stephen McNally plays the hero for a change and Julie Adams brightens the film with her beauty, dresses and sympathetic characterisation. But it's Hugh Marlowe as a cavalry officer who steals every scene he is in.
