I was given the opportunity to watch "Fort Massacre" (1958) meaning no one was home. It starred Joel McCrea (Sgt. Vinson), Forrest Tucker (Pvt. McGurney), John Russell (Pvt. Travis), Susan Cabot (Piute girl) & Francis McDonald (Old Piute man).
Sgt. Vinson was a bitter soldier who would do anything to get even with any Indians because of the massacre of his wife & children. His revenge included taking his troops across forbidden tribal lands. In his hatred he wanted to commit murder even if it meant taking the lives of those in his command.
This placed McCrea in a different type role...hard...cold...EXPENDABLE! If you like westerns give it a try, otherwise run...run...run to the east as fast as you can!!!
