Fort Ti

1953 "THE FIRST GREAT OUTDOOR EPIC OF AMERICA IN 3-DIMENSIONS"

5.1 | 1h13m | en | Western

Future horror-film entrepreneur William Castle warmed the director's chair for Fort Ti. Set in the 18th century, the film recounts the exploits of Rogers' Rangers, a band of adventurers devoted to seeking out a "northwest passage" through Canada. At this juncture, however, Major Rogers (Howard Petrie) is more concerned with helping the British forces at Fort Ticonderoga during a series of French and Indian raids. Top billing is bestowed upon George Montgomery as Captain Pedediah Horn, Rogers' right-hand man. The film boasts two leading ladies: Joan Vohs, as a suspected French spy, and Phyllis Fowler as a married Indian woman who falls in love with Captain Horn. Fort Ti was filmed in 3D, and in typical William Castle fashion the stereoscopic gimmick is exploited to the hilt.

Reviews

alexandre michel liberman (tmwest) This could be a typical B George Montgomery western , but it is an eastern instead, also it has the lovely presence of Joan Vohns, quite a beauty, a shame that she did not go too far in her movie career.I was expecting this film to give us a view of Fort Ti, which I was imagining to look like so many of the western forts, but instead when we have a brief view, it looks like a group of English houses. Looking on Wikipedia I realized it really looks like this. The action takes place during the fight of the French against the English in colonial times, with the Indians being on the side of the French. There is quite a love triangle, between Montgomery, Joan Vohns, and Phillys Fowler as Running Otter, who married an older man, but can't conceal her love of Montgomery. The love scenes of Montgomery and Joan Vohns are quite sexy, unusual for this type of film. The story is a bit too rich for the length of the film and the feeling is that everything is shown too briefly.

dmil-4 I first saw Fort Ti as a kid at the local movie house during the 3D fad years. I thought it was great and memories of the movie stayed with me over the years. Some great action sequences that worked well with the 3D process, but did not seemed forced. I give director William Castle credit for weaving in the the action scenes better than some of the other directors handling the 3D process at the time. I disagree with other commentators, that there are no major stars in the film. George Montgomery was at the time a major actor in westerns and action films and would later star in his own television western series. Seeing the film in recent years on the Encore Western channel, I see a lot lacking in terms of the story and the acting I that missed as a youngster caught up in the 3D action, diving in my seat when a thrown tomahawk appeared to be flying off the screen

SgtSlaughter This is the only French & Indian War movie I've seen besides NORTHWEST PASSAGE, plus re-run some episodes of the TV series by the same name (on TNT a while back).This particular movie isn't too great. No remarkable cast. No big action scenes. George Montgomery sounds to be reading any of his longer lines from cue cards. The story is boring and unoriginal.One thing I did like -- in every battle scene characters throw knives, spears, tomahakws etc. right at the camera and the objects look to flying right at you. On the big screen or sitting next the TV this will make you jump every time.AMC has a pretty decent quality print. But I had no 3D glasses, so the movie looked normal rather than the original 3D format.

bux You'll have to dodge those arrows, spears and tomahawks, in this otherwise routine period piece, originaly filmed in 3D.
