The Canadians (1961)
Director: Burt Kennedy
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Kennedy's first feature, a Western about the Sioux flight to Canada following the death of Custer at Little Big Horn, running into trouble with a rancher (Dehner), but kept to the straight and narrow by Ryan's Mountie. Despite Ryan's performance, a completely inferior film, with a trite script constantly slanted by the presence of Brooklyn opera singer Teresa Stratas as a squaw.Author: DP
