Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsJohn Payne (I)'s Capt. Croyden character and much of the cast are armed with .45-cal. Colt 1873 SAA "Peacemaker" revolvers. The story is set in 1863, a full ten years before the model was introduced by Colt. The handgun a Texas Ranger and a Union Army officer should be carrying would more than likely have been the Colt 1860 Army, a Civil War-era "cap-and-ball" pistol, yet the gun belts worn by the actors have bullet loops full of .45-cal. "Long" Colt cartridges.
- Quotes
Capt. Todd Croyden: [to Madeline Zanzeeger] I don't know anything about you, except you can tie a man's stomach in knots and make his tongue feel as thick as a saddle blanket.
Featured review
TECHNICOLOR JOHN ALTON...RHONDA FLEMING WASTED...PAYNE TYPICALLY STOIC...O'KEEFE MIS-CAST...BUT NOT BAD
Watchable Turn-of-the-Decade Western.
1950 Was a Sign-Post on the Dusty Trail of the Western Movie that Signaled a "New Direction" for the Popular Genre.
On the Horizon were Films with More on the Mind than "Cow-Boys and Indians".
More Adult
More Concerned with the Characteristics of the Characters.
Still Wearing Cowboy Hats of Course, but Not Always Announcing what was Beneath the Black & White Sun, Wind, and Dust Shields.
In other Words a Maturation.
A Place Where Horses Didn't Have Cute Kid-Friendly Nick-Names.
The Films from Directors like Anthony Mann and Budd Bottichier and Occasionally John Ford would Not Only Entertain Audiences,
but Layer the Movies with an Intent of Purpose that the First Wave of the Screen Western Lacked.
This Movie's Concern was Politics.
More Precisely, the Fate of National Territory.
The Title Symbolizes a Mexican "General", Following Juarez, and a Plan to Invade the United States Texan Border (while they were looking the other way fighting the Union in the Civil War).
It's Not a Deep-Dive into History but a Nod toward Delivering an Elementary Level History Lesson.
It has its Moments, but Overall a bit Flat and Pedestrian with the Cast the Most Glaring of Miss-Steps and Wasted Talent.
One of the Aforementioned Maturation and Next-Level Stuff, occurs Between John Payne and 2 Horses in a Violent Scene the Likes of Which were Previously Absent or Only Eluded.
Worth a Watch.
