Review of War Arrow (1953) by John R — 05 Oct 2013

An easy going western, supposedly based upon true events, where one tribe of Native American's are 'hired' to help defeat another, though its difficult to tell as there is no real context given to the film. We get some brief exposition that one tribe have been creating much difficulty for the 'American Cavalry' who then hire another that they had previously defeated to aid them in their fight. Some of the performances are very starched and the stereotyping is sadly very much in keeping with the period, the scenery looks good but then we expect that from a western, just wish they'd left some of the humour out of it.

A gentle Sunday afternoon viewing, that will go down a treat with Granddad.
