Last of the Comanches
(1953)
Directed by Andre de
Toth this film, which is a transplanted remake of Sahara (1943),
stars Broderick Crawford and Barbara Hale. Six US Cavalry survivors
of a massacre pick up a group of civilians and hide out from
Comanches on the war path.
While this film maybe
a remake (of what seems to be a remake itself) it throws nearly every
genre cliché there is at the screen. We may end up with a deeply
average film but in it's favour it does have a positive Native
American character and keeps events moving along at a brisk pace.
Really the script could have done with more depth but for a short
Western this is not a bad film.
3/5
