Reviews

wc1996-428-366101 Guy Madison may well be the best looking "guy" in the movies and the way he was discovered supports that idea. He was sitting in an audience and an agent just happened to spot him. Guy was on leave from the service and was quickly signed and shot his one scene in a Selznick film of all things then returned to the service apparently unaware that he was on the verge of stardom. In this film Guy does what he does best - just looks good - who cares about the story or the other actors -Guy is like some mythological figure out of Greek or Roman history - you just cannot get enough of him - and he never disappoints - whether it's left profile or right or full frontal Guy Madison keeps the blood flowing and the old heart pumping just when it needs to pump.

cfisler-2 This movie needs to be put into the DVD format. It is a story about the American wild west. It stars Guy Madison and it was made it 1953. It also has the Wilhelm Scream. You can hear it when Private Wilhelm is struck in the leg by an arrow. Private Wilhelm dies. The Wilhem scream was originally made by Sheb Wooley in 1951 and heard in Distant Drums. The scream has also been used by George Lucas in his Star Wars series and Steven Spielberg used it in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Indianan Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Other film makers use the Wilhem Scream all the time. The Charge at feather river comes out on DVD at July 4th 2010.

Dale Haufrect, M.D., M.A. Saw this film the first time in 1953 with my older brother. It was one of the great 3 Demension films released in that era. We saw it at least thirteen times and were proud of it. Scott does a typical western shoot em up job while surrounded by the Indian arrows rather than surround sound. Oh, for those polaroid lenses again.

bux Slightly above average western drama with the emphasis on action. A cavalry commander (Madison) is forced to recruit from the guard house and set out on a mission to bring back white hostages the Indians have captured. All the expected sterotypes are present, and of course one of the hostages is a beautiful female. Since this one was originaly shot in 3D, be prepared to 'suffer those slings and arrows!'
