A retiring Captain takes out a last patrol to stop an impending massive Indian attack.
Classic John Ford western with its star bringing in one of his greatest characterizations, still watchable, although some of the gung-ho and the music is quite dated.
On repeated view I still agree with my initial evaluation; fun to watch for simply seeing "John Ford country" again.
Halliwell**: "Fragmentary but very enjoyable Western with all Ford ingredients served piping hot."
Maltin***1/2: "Director Ford's stock company in fine form...Beautifully filmed in color by Oscar-winning Winton C. Hoch, but a bit top-heavy with climaxes."
