    • Trivia
      Despite what another Trivia entry claims, the number of on-screen killings in the film was not reduced to 10 for censorship reasons. In fact, there are over 30 on-screen killings during the course of the film, of whites and Indians.
    • Goofs
      Capt. Santley, sending a message to the General, orders Pvt. Cassidy to "step on it". This phrase, meaning to go fast, came from accelerator pedals in automobiles and pressing down to go faster. It would not have been a phrase used in the Wild West.

    6/10
    SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE SLEEPER...VIOLENT ACTION & INTER-RACIAL CHARACTER STUDY
    More Time is Spent on the inter-Racial Love Interests, which was Atypical in Most 50's Westerns.

    Few Films had such a Voluptuous Female Native-American at the Center of the Plot and even Fewer Dared to Portray Her in as Many Provocative Shots.

    The Contrast Between Her and Blonde-Blue-Eyed Peter Graves is Stunning.

    Graves is a Notorious Indian-Hater and Hides His Infatuation with the Woman (Joan Taylor).

    But the Plot may have Another Side of His Hypocritical Bigotry to Explore.

    If that Wasn't Enough, there is a Second Love-Fest Occurring as Joan Vohs, a White Woman on the Wagon Train, Falls for the Indian Scout.

    On Top of the Daring Romance, the Film is Filled with Violent Attacks, with the Body-Count Stratospheric.

    Sexy, Brutal, and Philosophical Western that Picked-Up on the Early 50's Trend of a New Approach to Native-American-Anglo Interaction.

    Softening the Natives as Almost Human.

    A Costume Twist Adds Another Off-Beat Scene.

    Above Average for its Type and is Certainly...

    Worth a Watch.
