Directed by Arnold Laven
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

This Cavalry western is neatly divided into two parts: an overlong first hour and a half devoted to a love triangle, bar brawls and drinking; a much better but too short second half hour devoted to action. The scenery and massive outdoor battle sequences of the second part almost saves the film, but it's tough sledding through the monotony of the melodramatic first part. Tom Tryon is good as the idealistic Captain assigned to train the green enlisted men, but Harve Presnell is bad as his romantic rival. James Caan is a stand out as the Irish Pvt. Dugan.
