The Battle at Apache Pass

Puseletso SetseoNov 16, 2022

A good little movie that gives an extremely balanced view of the Indian wars in the US South West, eg bad whites, good whites, bad indians, good indians, but inevitable victory to the whites! Tightly directed, neatly scripted, quite well acted, good characters who stop short of cliché, and glorious technicolour with locations which will never be used again (Arches national park). Far better than some pretentious westerns that appeared in sixties and seventies (including some of Clint Eastwood's!). Also the sort of film that never gets made today - too cheap for cinemas and too expensive for TV! Watch for the number of extras as cavalrymen and indians, while it is clearcut and does not dwell on emotional claptrap like today's dark and dreary westerns made-for-TV!

Apache chief Cochise (Jeff Chandler) resolves to make a treaty allowing his people to live in peace with white settlers. However, his hot-headed fellow leader Geronimo disagrees, and puts the negotiations at risk by embarking on a murder spree, incurring the wrath of his enemies. A big moneymaker in its day, and its understandable why. It ticks all the boxes in delivering an engaging action western with plenty of conflict thrown in; the buildup to powder keg situation where Cochise has to fight against the cavalry - an Indian agent played by Bruce Cowling and Mescal Jack played by Jack Elam stir up an Apache war - is well done. Jeff Chandler reprises his role of Cochise, whom he played in Delmer Daves' Broken arrow, and plays the role with dignity and command. John Lund is fine as the sympathetic cavalry officer. Susan Cabot and Beverley Tyler are ravishing. A solid western with a beautifully shot location.

This colorful western is a rousing yarn that is one of the best of the 1950s. The picture is based on two historical events, the shameful Bascom affair, and the fight in Apache Pass in which two mountain howitzers foiled a well-planned ambush by the Indians. Cochise's Chiricahuas and the U.S. cavalry do all they can to keep peace in the southwest but renegade Mogollons and greedy, scheming whites are just as determined to cause trouble between the Apaches and the soldiers. Jeff Chandler reprises his role as Cochise in the landmark western, "Broken Arrow", as does Jay Silverheels as the warlike Geronimo. John Lund is the major who is sympathetic to the Indians and values his friendship with Cochise. Bruce Cowling and Jack Elam are the white men who have other ideas about how to deal with the Indians. Richard Egan and Hugh O'Brian are also good as army lieutenants. Tech credits are great, especially the camera work by Charles Boyle and the music score by Hans Salter.

George Sherman was an old hand at B westerns due to his long stint at Republic, where he specialized in them. His experience shows in this tight little Universal B western. John Lund and Jeff Chandler are stalwart as, respectively, a cavalry officer trying to avert an Indian war and Apache leader Cochise. The cast is filled with veteran character actors, which is always an asset, and the action scenes are extremely well handled. Altogether a tight, enjoyable little western. Recommended.
