What did the French use to look like natives before the creation of Max Factor?

George Washington slept there. So according to Sam katzman and his crew of writers for this Columbia programmer that is literally not a western because it is set in the east. It deals with the Delaware Indians being blamed for attacks that the French are actually responsible for in their efforts to create the war, and when the French and the Indians go to War, the Indians know right off who is native and who is not. According to this however, the Delaware Indians were friendly with the British settlers, something that in the 1750's probably wasn't true for the most part outside a few.

Having survived his years in male sarongs as the co-star of Maria Montez in a series of Universal fantasies, Jon Hall is cast as a Delaware Indian, hysterically miscast. There's also a native princess nickname "Little Cricket", basically the equivalent of any future goal that Myrna Loy had played in the early 1930's or Rita Moreno during the 1950's, the non-white hot tempered vixen while he was in love with the hero while he was in love with another woman. Mary Castle winds Falls Park in this film as the feisty heroine who saved him a number of times and confesses that her mother was natives, the father White.

Sherry Moreland is given the honor of playing the cricket. Pedro de Cordova is very noble as the Delaware chief who longs for peace but won't kow tow to French pressures. John Dehner, John Ridgeley and James Seay (as Washington) do their best with cliched dialogue in support. It's all right perhaps the in for entertainment knowing how fictional it is, an entertaining color action film that if you watching the right mood can be considered unintentionally funny.
