      This film is a virtual scene-for-scene remake of Fort Bowie (1958), and in fact the battle scene that opens the film is lifted entirely from it.

    Some merit, except at the end
    Some scathing comments were appended to one version provided on Youtube and I feared the worst. But the wasn't too bad, apart from the last few anticlimactic minutes which others have commented on. The scenery was good and the fort looked authentic enough.

    Quite why two attractive women were travelling on their own across such hazardous country I don't know, and the scout fired his revolver at fleeing Indians at the most optimistic range I've ever seen, even by Western standards; his eventual death was quite gruesome for the time when the film was made.

    For once, none of the actors was known to me but they all did well enough.

    Tempted almost to give it a six, but five will do.
