Dusty, swaggering outdoor yarn features Richard Boone in another one of his aw-shucks, embarrassed-to-be-up-here performances playing a former Confederate Major-turned-Apache hunter who is recruited by Texas Calvary to find the mercenary Confederate Colonel who is selling stolen government guns to the Apaches. Locales and violent action both serviceable, even if the camera-work is continually unsure and the editing sloppy. Boone barks orders convincingly enough, yet he's almost charming when acting sheepish (a response which really suits him). Tony Franciosa tries out his Latino accent as a Mexican cutthroat along for the journey, while Jim Brown shows off his incredible physique and Stuart Whitman looks pained throughout. No surprises here (except for the quick entrance and exit of an infant), while the final showdown is pure formula--a dull one. *1/2 from ****
