- TriviaAlthough copyright dated 1956 and passed by the British Board of Film Censors with a "U" certificate on 4 December 1956, United Artists did not get round to showing it to the London press until 9 September 1957 with one 10:30 screening at the UA Own Theatre in Wardour Street. For the public distribution UA decided on a "floating" arrangement rather than a general release to every cinema, but the film got plenty of showings.
- GoofsThe American Flag shown at the end credits, appears to have 36 stars (6x6). At the beginning of the of the Civil War (April 1861), the official US Flag would have had 33 stars (5 rows x 7 columns with one missing on either end of the middle row). The flag did change (July 4th, 1861) to 34 stars (one star added to the middle row) in July to reflect the addition of Kansas (January 29th, 1861.
- Quotes
Maj. Seth Bradner: Within the walls of this fort is a company of the Army of the United States. The States are no longer united. Each of you has chosen his own loyalty. Perhaps there are some of you who have yet to make that decision. Whichever way you choose, you will for the present time, continue to exist together. In anger, if necessary with hatred, but within this fort you will remain a company of soldiers. That order doesn't come from me or from Washington. That order comes from Red Cloud and his warriors.
So, with these promising ingredients, why aren't the results better than they are. In my book, the acting lacks the intensity that these conflicting cross-currents should realistically produce. Basically, the actors (even the great John Dehner) stand there and speak their lines, but without much feeling, so the drama never really gels the way it should. I guess director Selander's specialty is action and not acting. Still, there are a couple of good battle scenes— especially the unusual skirmish between soldiers on rafts and Indians on the riverbank. Anyhow, if you're not too expectant, this is a decent enough oater made at the peak of the Western craze of the 1950's.
