Die Letzten der 2. Schwadron (1958)

Die Letzten der 2. Schwadron: Directed by Joseph M. Newman. With Joel McCrea, Forrest Tucker, John Russell, Susan Cabot. A cavalry troop finds itself under constant attack by Indians.

“A good Western with McCrea as an army sergeant with a severe chip on his shoulder — his family was killed by American Indians. When the detachment he serves in is attacked, all his superiors are killed and he has to take command of the survivors — who believe his bigotry will lead them into confrontations which are unnecessary. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMcCrea is very good at playing the sergeant as a kind of ruined idealist, beating Wayne at his own game. He has a good rapport with Russell, who plays a man more or less in between the two factions — heu0026#39;s attached to his sergeant, but can see that his hatred may lead them into danger. Cabot also appears as a native woman, but is not given much to do except be the unwarranted object of McCreau0026#39;s hatred and suspicions. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enA satisfying action film with a strong anti-racist message.”
