Review of Allegheny Uprising

After Stagecoach, there is was no doubt John Wayne and Claire Trevor were stars. Allegheny Uprising just reaffirms that supposition. Trevor was in high gear from the beginning showing her devotion to Wayne as the Colonist in lawful rebellion against British rule. George Sanders was not the first choice for the role of Brit Captain Swanson but no one could have played it better. Wilfrid Lawson as MacDougall skillfully depicted the spirit of the pre-revolutionary war period. Everyone's favorite villain, Brian Donlevy is relentless in giving the Duke all he can handle. Allegheny Uprising is true gem and highly underrated film depicting an important time in American history.
