Review of The Last Frontier (1955) by John R — 01 Jul 2016
160701: Treachery abounds at Fort Shallan. A decent film that made me struggle with finding a likeable character. It was a good thing Gus (James Whitmore) appeared at the beginning. He was a friendly western face and generally not touched by the darkness of The Last Frontier.
Though the film ends with a strangely upbeat atmosphere, the story and it's main character Jeb Cooper (Victor Mature) leave a lot to be desired. Though a lot of focus is on the leadership of Colonel Frank Marston (a cool Robert Preston), I'm not really sure Marston's moral compass is as off as his wife's and the constantly drunk Cooper.
Decent old Calvary vs Indians film.
