Tomahawk (1951)


Universal-International Pictures
Directed by George Sherman
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Universal Vault Collection)

Vivid Technicolor western that utilizes location shooting in the Black Hills of South Dakota for maximum effect. Van Heflin is an Indian scout for the Cavalry. He suspects a Captain of being involved in a massacre that took his wife and child years ago. So when the local Sioux start an uprising, he uses the opportunity to expose him. Yvonne De Carlo is in a minor role as part of a traveling side show, but surprisingly is not Heflin's romantic diversion.
