Among the prisoners is Nanches’ son and the boy’s white mother captured by them nine years earlier. Hook’s assignment is to escort the mother and son to the woman’s husband. Traveling by stagecoach they learn that Nanches has escaped and it’s not long before he and his warriors show up intent on reclaiming the boy.
Review:
Under-rated western
I saw this film years ago, and still remember it for the incredible photography of the traveling stagecoach and backgrounds.The Cinematography rivals anything John Ford has done. The movie has received mediocre reviews, however, one should remember that the story was told as a ballad. I felt it dealt surprisingly well with inter-race prejudice. Barbara Stanwyck had a reputation for being pro-native-american. She acted her role as the white mother of an indian child well. Joel McCrea also was under-rated in his role as the sympathetic cavalryman. The supportings were solid gold character actors-Royal Dano as the stagecoach driver, Earl Holliman as the shy drifter, Rudolfo Hoyos as the Apache leader determined to get his son back. For a non-color film, it was better than most westerns of the era. I hope that someday it can be released on vhs for all to enjoy the wonderful camera work in it. Written by gstevens-2 on imdb.com
