A colorful historical western culminating in the battle of Little Big Horn, this focuses on two men who just can't find it in their patriotism to get along. Ray Milland and Hugh Marlowe had a falling out years ago as calvary officers, with Milland coming out the loser. Years later, they are reunited with Milland now an enlisted man and the two finding themselves ruvals again, this time over feisty Helena Carter.
Based on the 1943 novel by Ernest Haycox, this has memorable supporting performances by Forrest Tucker (in the type of role that Warners would usually cast one of the two Alan Hales in), Barton MacLane and George Reeves. Colorful and action packed, dealing with believable human conflict and showing Milland changing greatly throughout as he realizes what's really important. The lead up to the big battle features singer Sheb Wooley as Custer in a cameo. Definitely one worth seeking out, with the performances all top notch, greatly aided by an enthusiastic script.
