Siege at Red River (1954)


Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Rudolph Maté
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Two rebels steal an early Gatling gun and attempt to smuggle it to the south. They hide under cover of a medicine show as they travel from town to town. They can hardly contain their hatred of the Yankees in their midst, except when one of them is pretty Joanne Dru. They hire an outlaw to guide them through the final stretch of hostile Indian territory. He steals the gun and sells it to Indians, who turn around and use it to attack the Yankees. Can the girl and the Rebs learn to get along to defeat them? And more importantly, what is the Grand Canyon doing in Kansas?
