Richard Widmark gives a suitably restrained performance (always the cool guy), as the ex Indian warrior who has joined the white men again, helping the wagon train survivors who have found themselves besieged by those pesky Apaches. If you like your cowboy films this is a very good one, let down by the poor sound on the copy I watched, as well as the unlikely ending. Apparently Widmark actually hated guns in what he considered to be one of the greatest countries in the civilised world. Nothing's changed very much there then.
Widmark's character seems to be a desperate murderer, and after the wagon train massacre the teenagers who come back from their swim find him the only survivor and their only means of survival. In the subsequent scenes, we find out that everyone had it all wrong about him.
Splendid Western,well photographed in good scenery & an excellent story line.Widmark is his usual brilliant self & I enjoyed the film even
though I realised that I had seen it before,
