I was not impressed by anything in the film except for the shooting of the stampede scene. Until I saw this film, I was convinced the most authentic stampede was in "How the west was won".
I give full marks to Robert Surtees for filming this sequence with fleeing animals surrounding the actors. I wonder what special effects were employed. There were no credits for special effects, so I guess much of it was real. It really made me sit up to try and figure out how they did this magnificent sequence. Surtees deserved the Oscar!
The rest of the film was average.
