Escape from Fort Bravo (1953)
Director: John Sturges
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Western set in Arizona during the Civil War, neatly sustained from a familiar set of ingredients. Femme fatale Parker helps some Confederate soldiers escape their Union captors, whose efforts to recapture them are hindered by hostile Indians. Holden's suitably steel-jawed as the cavalry captain leading the boys in blue. Photographed by Robert Surtees.Author: TJ
