One of the last great westerns
23 March 2011
I loved this movie. Audie Murphy did a great job in the lonely outpost fighting Apaches. You couldn't expect less from the most decorated soldier in WW II. His swan song was a good one. I actually saw this online at classic movies but will get this as part of my collection. Kenneth Tobey (Bodine) probably stole the show as an old Confederate. The friction between him and Murphy (Capt. Bruce Coburn) starts right off at the beginning when he asks for a break. Captain Coburn refutes him and this relationship intensifies nicely. Laraine Stephens's sons getting in on the action is another great sub-plot that all fits in very well. This is worth seeing and getting on DVD if available.
