Story:

But as their water runs low and conflicts escalate, they can’t help wondering why Taslik is wearing war paint.
Review:
Gritty cavalry-lost patrol western
A courageous US cavalryman is given a vitally important mission – to deliver a peace treaty to a powerful Indian chief, preventing further conflict. However, a band of bloodthirsty rebels are determined to see him dead before he completes his task, while the officer’s guide may not be as trustworthy as he appears.
Filmed in Death Valley, War Paint opens up with a pre-title sequence with an action sequence that sets the scene for the rest of the grim excursion with Keith Larsen’s Indian guide leading a cavalry on a mission to destruction. What you get is a tense and involving plot with a bunch of characters not exactly clean as the driven snow. It’s sort of like a lost patrol story but with an unusual slant. It’s not the most action-packed film, but there’s enough going on to keep one captivated and it is quite thoughtful. It also boast solid performances by Robert Stack, Joan Taylor, Keith Larsen and the rest of the cast. Written by coltras35 on imdb.com
