Product description
From Robert Aldrich, the renowned director of The Dirty Dozen, The Grissom Gang, The Killing of Sister George and The Longest Yard, comes this thrilling western starring screen legend Burt Lancaster (The Train, Elmer Gantry, Valdez Is Coming) in one the best performances of his iconic career. Violence begets violence in this explosive western that pits marauding Apaches against weary Indian fighters and naïve U.S. cavalrymen. Lancaster is McIntosh, a scout assigned to aid the cavalry in tracking down Ulzana (Joaquín Martínez, Jeremiah Johnson) and his band of renegade Indians. As the trail gets hotter, McIntosh tries to teach idealistic young Lieutenant DeBuin (Bruce Davison, The Crucible) that the only way to fight their escalating brutality and violence is with more force. This gritty action epic is the third of four films starring Lancaster and directed by Aldrich; the others were Apache (1954), Vera Cruz (1954) and Twilight’s Last Gleaming (1977). Beautifully shot by Joseph F. Biroc (Too Late the Hero) and featuring strong supporting performances by Richard Jaeckel (The Devil’s Brigade) and Lloyd Bochner (Point Blank).

about the same time in the early 1970s. This movie, Lawman
and Valdez is Coming... And this film stands out among them
all, as it is an allegory for the Vietnam war, and US involvement
in other countries. That being said, it is a dark and pessimistic
vision of the old west, and somewhat uncomfortable at times to
watch. The Apache warriors are not noble savages, but just
savage. They rape and kill, for no other reason, that they can.
This is a film that turns the South West of America into a vision
of hell, and has a dark nihilistic ending. I'd say this is a good
western, as it goes against the grain of the Hollywood movies
at the time, although the early 1970s films were dark in tone
this movie seems to say "life is useless".
Burt Lancaster gives another great performance. He seemed to
get better with age, but this copy is let down by bad editing, or
should I say, bad chopping. A lot of scenes are cut due to cruelty
to animals, for their horse "trip-wiring" effects. This makes some
action scenes look bad, and slightly confusing. I don't know why
they cut these scenes out, as this technique isn't used any more,
but they have... Also... the Music score is HORRIBLE. It seems to
have come from another movie, and has no or little place in the film.
All said and done, this DVD is for the hardcore Westerns fans and
fans of 1970s movies, of which I am both.

When Ulzana' and a small band of Braves including his Son break out of 'San Carlos Indian Reservation' the Commander of Fort
Lowell 'Captain Gates' orders that a patrol hunts down the renegade Apache, he assigns the young and inexperienced Lieutenant
'Garnett Debuin' accompanied by around 20 troops, Army Scout 'McIntosh' and 'Indian Scout 'Ke-Ni-Kay' to give chase and bring
'Ulzana' and his Braves back to the Reservation.
However ahead of the pursuing troops 'Ulzana' is cutting a terrifying and brutal trail of killings in his wake targeting Homesteaders.
The Lieutenant struggles to understand the ways of the Apache after seeing the results of their deeds will do well to listen to the
advice and thoughts of his experienced scout 'McIntosh' who knows that 'Ulzana's' violence can only be defeated by violence.
At the end of the day it will come down to kill or be killed there will be no middle ground.
The tactics of 'Ulzana' make him a formidable opponent.
A well made and convincing Western that includes many familiar faces among the cast list frequently seen in films of the genre
throughout the 60's into the early 70's.
Well worth a viewing or indeed a revisit.
(A fellow reviewer reminded me of this Gem quite recently, glad he did, been a while since last viewing it)

Next time I order a Western I'll try to find out if the copy is an uncut version. I think the British public are let down by this Big Brother approach by the film censors

If this reflects all amazon dvd's. I will not be buying anymore.
