Mildred Stockard Houston Chronicle Jan 8
To its credit, the picture moves at a fast pace, but it also includes almost every cliche known to action films, and its dialogue is incredibly stilted and corny. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Salah A @RT66653806 Jul 23 Rather standard corporate affair , for its time. Given that, reasonably good. See more 02/08/2015 This is the story of a small band of cavalry, out to warn General Custer of the tremendous number of indians arrayed against him. While it offers fine drama and action there is much more going on here--Duty, Honor, Country: and how each man in the patrol comes to grips with his responsibility as a soldier--Cuckolded Cavalry officer Lloyd Bridges forces his wife's lover, fellow Calvaryman John Ireland, to accompany him and his troop on a suicide mission to intercept General Custer on his way to the Little Big Horn and warn him of the impending ambush by the Souix forces amassing against him... Superior Under-appreciated Western!!! See more Read all reviews
