Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Western originally in 3-D, with the usual hail of arrows and tomahawks hurled at the audience, and here more inventively augmented by a stream of tobacco juice (aimed at a rattlesnake). Actually, directed with great drive and beautifully shot by Peverell Marley, it's much better than you might expect, even though the script (two sisters captured by Cheyennes are rescued five years later, one by force since she has married a chief) serves mainly as an excuse for non-stop Indian fighting.Author: TM
