I was unlucky enough to watch this movie in black and white, instead of Cinecolor. That said Lew Landers also offred us CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH AND POCAHONTAS, and DAVY CROCKET INDIAN SCOUT, movies taking place during the same period, more or less, not entirely pure westerns. Yes Landers, a very prolific B director, took very early the opportunity of colour for his adventure movies. I will comment more of them later; I have plenty of his stuff in my library. This one is not particularely surprising but a good time waster, because of Jon Hall's presence, bringing his exotic charm that he saved from his Universal pictures with Maria Montez. Yes, he took this atmosphere in his luggage and brought it here !!!! I don't know how much accurate it is to the true history, concerning the details of the late eighteenth century, and George Washington, but who cares? Amazing, impressive battle scenes, very rare for the early fifties.
