Directed by Anthony Mann
Two rugged trappers (Victor Mature, James Whitmore) and their Indian guide (Pat Hogan) become scouts at a remote frontier fort, tenuously defended by a young officer (Guy Madison) and an Indian-hating Colonel, at a time when tensions with local tribes are running high. Cool heads and high principles take a back seat to jingoism and passion in director Anthony Mann’s decidedly unromantic portrait of a frontier community.
