Die Letzten von Fort Gamble (1950)
50KDie Letzten von Fort Gamble: Directed by Sam Wood. With Robert Taylor, John Hodiak, Arlene Dahl, Don Taylor. In 1878, Ward Kinsman, a prospector and Indian scout, has been persuaded by the US Cavalry to find Mary Carlyle, the daughter of a general, who has been taken by Apaches.
“This is pretty standard cavalry outpost versus the Apaches fare, but itu0026#39;s well acted and directed, moves along at a good clip and boasts an intelligent script that develops its stock characters effectively. Robert Taylor is at his best in this kind of stalwart but human role. And the rest of the cast delivers strongly. (Arlene Dahl has great chemistry with both Taylor and John Hodiak, rivals for her affections.)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis was director Sam Woodu0026#39;s last film. The many action scenes are well staged and exciting, although color would have enhanced them. This is an example of big-budget Hollywood westerns from the late 40u0026#39;s and early 50u0026#39;s (many better known than this, e.g., u0026quot;Red River) which–for some reason–were filmed in black and white.”
