Tomahawk Trail

This DVD is not the fault of the seller, so I can't blame him or her I let that be known! Now the only reason I gave this two stars is this is one of the most pathetic movies I have ever seen. The acting was in fact terrible, no it goes beyond that! This movie could be classed as a " B " movie low budget that's for sure. This is the story of soldiers, and the ever present Indians, which by the way are played by substandard actors I might mention ! Now as most of you know there's always a few Indian Maidens, always present but the twist of this movie is one of them is a captive and her father is a high mucky-muck so to speak the other is the daughter of the Apache chief, and is the subject of several intimate attacks by one of the troopers which of course failed. Now we come to the officer in charge of this band of soldiers, who in fact does not know his butt from bananas, and to include this in the movie he went nutsy coo-coo , now comes the veteran sgt played by chuck conners, aka The rifleman now he did play a good part but he was not really the take over solider he should have been, although he did have experience with the Indians, somewhat? Of course there is always the proverbial love story connected with any movie and this has one, I mentioned before there was a captive well long story short, the SGT and the captive fell in love, so be it , anyway in summation, this movie is so boring it's going to be on my shelf for a long time, if you want to be completely bored by all means purchase this DVD you won't be disappointed, now lets be clear on several points I made. this is my review, no body's else so even though I did not like it does not mean somebody else won't you just have to take a chance and see for yourself.

This movie was a big surprise for me. As a fan of Chuck Conners I had to have it for my collection. The Video quality was good and sound as well. Once I started to watch it I was glad I purchased it. Not Academy Award material but worth a look on a rainy day. Nice to see Chuck Conners in a different role from "The Rifleman" which I also own the entire series on DVD.

The acting is good,story is good,casting good,b&w,1 hour long,and transfer is a 3 out of 5.The dvd-r skips out toward the end, so you miss the ending.A good solid western with Chuck Connors at his best...support your favorite artists.

Just Love those Old Calvary VS Indians Movies. This one was Very Good. NOTE: i am not , don't claim to be and never want to be a movie critic. so don't waste your time telling me how bad my review was, Because Frankly, I Don't Give a damn. Thank you.

Arrived perfect and so wonderful to see the gorgeous John Smith again - this is a great film for any western lover- thank you.

Excellent Movie

This 1950 relatively short (just over an hour) black and white B film with stereotypical subplots was interesting enough that I watched it until the end. Connors is a well-informed sergeant, who knows the ways of local Indians (a group of Apaches), is part of a small group of soldiers under the command of a lieutenant who is a graduate of West Point and who had been in the army for nine years (he counted his four years in West Point), in comparison to just over four years for Connors. The lieutenant also fought in Indian wars in the east. But the lieutenant feels that non-officers know nothing worth hearing. He makes many mistakes, such as thinking it best to corral the horses apart from the men so that their sleep would not be disturbed. Connors had suggested they be placed near the men. As a result, the Indians stole the horses. Besides the errors in judgment, the lieutenant is harmed by the heat and sun while they walked to the fort. Connors takes over command. The lieutenant calls it mutiny and most of the men agree with the lieutenant.Connors, of course, is not perfect. He dislikes all Indians. This situation changes when the small troop found two beautiful women, one of whom was the daughter of the warring Apache chief. There are attempts by the soldiers to rape the two women. The lieutenant swears that Connors will face jail time for mutiny, and most of the troops agree. The troopers face attacks by the much larger number of Apaches. It seems they will all die. But will they die?

Facing a court martial, Sgt. McCoy (Chuck Connors) takes over command from an ignorant officer (injured from an indian attack) who has no clue about leadership and chooses his ego over the safety of his men. Before the group reaches an empty fort, they are attacked by indians several times featuring some good action. Anyone doubting McCoy's leadership, is immediately put in their place. Two cuties are captured (one indian, and one indian raised white) causing drama with the restless men. Using a firm hand and a stern voice, McCoy convincingly scolds those who get out of line. Overcoming their differences, the troops face an all-out assault on the fort by the Apaches. Connors easily carries this film and gives us a rare chance to see him in another western outside of the Rifleman! Fullscreen dvd video and audio is surprisingly good.

this western is for old western fans .brilliant.

it is good acting and a true westeren

Love the old movies.
