Plot Summary

When an army scout retires to a farm in New Mexico he takes pity on a white woman and her "half-breed" son recently rescued from Indians, and invites them to join him. He does this even knowing the child's father is a feared and murderous Apache and that sooner or later a showdown is almost inevitable. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

Trivia George Stevens was originally slated to direct but bowed out because of script problems. His replacement, Robert Mulligan, had directed Gregory Peck to an Oscar in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). See more »
Goofs Eva Marie Saint is clearly wearing mascara and lipstick when the tribe is captured. In several scenes, it is obvious that her fingernails are both manicured and polished which is absolutely wrong for the part she plays (i.e., "Sarah Carver"). See more »
