Reviews:
“Robert Siodmak’s account of George Armstrong Custer has been all too readily dismissed as a self important, would-be epic hampered by the miscasting of Robert Shaw in the title role. In fact it is quite an interesting film that gives dimension this notorious historical figure. Shaw’s English accent makes him essentially unsuitable for the role of the golden haired, arrogant soldier, but he turns in a typically sound performance that gives the film a solid centre. The script doesn’t settle for the clichés of Custer as a brutal Indian hater nor the ridiculous Errol Flynn archetypes, but something in-between. Here Custer is portrayed as a reckless glory hunter and an obsessive fighter certainly, but also as a man who clung to his honour as a soldier. In any case he was an important instrument of the US government’s policy of driving the Indians out of their lands to make way for the settlers. “You are paying the price for being backward”, Custer explains to an Indian Chief. Robert Ryan’s cameo as Mulligan defines Custer’s attitude towards humanity while the scene where Custer is asked to endorse an armoured train affirms his honourable notions of a soldier’s ideals. Bernado Seagall’s music score is superb, performances, particularly Mary Ure as Custer’s wife are excellent and there are several memorable scenes that put the events and the man into a wider historical context. Director Siodmak makes good use of wide screen photography, and the Battle of the Little Big Horn makes a poignant finale. The film may be slowly paced, yet it never bores and presents on the whole the film presents a worthy portrait of this infamous historical figure.” Written by Colonel Ted on IMDb.com

The 11th in the series of 14 “Texas Rangers” westerns from P.R.C. that starred Dave O’Brien and Jim Newill, before Newill was replaced by Tex Ritter in the concluding eight films of a very bad 22-films series: Lillian Wilkins and her old Civil War Veteran Uncle Jed Wilkins own a ranch through which a pipeline will be laid. They are unaware of this but Dan Tyndall, Joe Hyslop and Tom Binns are aware of the possibilities for a quick profit and set out to prove through crooked-surveyor Sam Brisco that the land has been improperly surveyed and not rightfully the possession of the Wilkins. They go to family friend and attorney Kendall Lowther for advice and this is not a good move as Lowther is actually the brains behind the scheme to beat them out of their property. But Texas Rangers Tex Wyatt and Jim Steele show up to take a hand on the side of the Wilkins. That also means that Panhandle Perkins, accompanied by Lee Zahler’s horrific comedy scoring, will also show up. Wilkerson’s comedy and Zahler’s music is enough to make one root for the villains. This one has so many villains that Bud Osborne is relegated to playing a good guy role. Written by Les Adams
