Broderick Crawford does a fine job of taking his city tough guy persona to the West. I particularly liked when the cut off and beleaguered survivors of the massacre mined their perimeter and surprised the attacking Comanches. (It didn't seem to reduce their numbers, however.)
After carefully following plot developments, it struck me that this was Bogart's "Sahara," including the oasis/fortress with the barely dripping well portioned out among the survivors and used to negotiate a deal with the attackers. The well even seemed to drip like the Saharan version. Then when Little Knife is sent off for rescue from the nearest relief column, the last shot of him before the rescue is collapsing on a shifting sand dune.
Doesn't matter. It was great when Bogart played it. It was good remake with Crawford.
