Conquest of Cochise (1953)


Directed by William Castle
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Handsome Technicolor production done in by juvenile script and poor acting. The US Cavalry is sent to Arizona after the Gadsden Purchase to protect Americans and Mexicans from the Indians. Robert Stack is embarrassing as the Cavalry leader who wastes no opportunity to seduce a woman. John Hodiak is slightly better as the Indian leader Cochise, although he has his share of women as well. The Mexican characters are little more than stereotypes. The ending is abrupt and baffling.
