Synopsis

Audie Murphy launched his own production company with this intriguing slant on the western siege theme. Branded a coward for refusing to participate in the Sand Creek massacre, Murphy heads for Texas to forge a band of seemingly defenceless women into a fighting force. It's steadily directed by old stager George Marshall and the Indian attack on the fortified mission should keep action fans happy. But Walter Doniger's screenplay is keener to explore the unsung heroism of the frontierswoman (although he can't resist a romance between Murphy and the feisty Kathryn Grant) and provides meaty roles for the likes of Hope Emerson and Jeannette Nolan.
