Audience Reviews

CinemaSerf 6/10 Jan 26, 2024
With the eponymous Apache leader (Chief Thundercloud) swearing revenge on the white men who killed his family years earlier, it falls to "Gen. Steele" (Ralph Morgan) - at the personal instigation of the US President - to try to make peace with this marauding warrior. Of course, it's not going to be that simple - there are vested interests on both sides who wish the conflict to continue, there's a good old dose of family melodrama as his son (William Henry) is also at the post - and they don't exactly see eye to eye, and we also have a wagon train carrying his wife and his son's fiancée en route to the fort through treacherous territory. Now the acting here isn't up to much - aside from the odd gun toting scene from Andy Devine's scouting "Sneezer"; nor is the writing but there are some fun action scenes with the feisty band of blue-shirts facing what appeared to be the entire, and heavily armed, Apache nation bearing down on them. It's far too long, too - but as standard B-western afternoon fayre, it's watchable enough though don't expect any history lessons!
