5/10
boring western
27 December 2022
The US calvary has to stop at the border in their pursuit of the Indians. Fresh graduate 2nd Lt. Matthew 'Matt' Hazard (Troy Donahue) arrives at Fort Delivery in the Arizona Territory. He rescues Mrs. Kitty Mainwarring (Suzanne Pleshette), wife of the first Lt., from hostiles.

Troy Donahue is a bore. He has his pretty blonde hair and towers over the others. He looks like Dauber and has the charisma of a blank slate. Suzanne Pleshette tries her best, but even she becomes duller from the connection. I couldn't care less about the romantic complications. The location is epic. They employ in a lot horses and men. There are some big horse riding scenes which is probably the only compelling aspect of the movie. The battles are a lot of falling off horses stunt work. It gets a bit repetitive. The ending tries to be socially conscious. All in all, it's mostly boring.
