The Stand at Apache River (1953)


Universal-International Pictures
Directed by Lee Sholem
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Encore)

Stand-off between group of men and women at a remote stage depot and renegade Apache Indians has good action scenes and an intelligent script. A sheriff and his prisoner, accused of murder, argue with a Cavalry officer about the ethics of violence, but when the Indians attack it's kill or be killed. However, romantic subplots involving the women are not nearly as interesting and detract from an otherwise excellent western from Universal-International.
