This could have been a much better story and movie since it had the always reliable and likeable Joel MCCrea, but the movie gets bogged down with the romanticism between MCCrea and Maureen O' Hara. The special effects leave a lot to be desired. In one scene an arrow is horizontally shown hitting the inside of the wagon they are escaping in. Kind of hard when the Indians chasing them are behind them. When the wagon turns over the occupants not seen in previous scenes all pile out after it turns over and run to the other side to face the Indians. The other side would have had them facing nothing but rocks and clearly not the side from where the Indians were coming from. Lastly, in the scene showing the Indians burning crops and homes you can clearly see Mohawk Indians doing it, This was file footage from the movie Drums Along The Mohawk. Wellman could have done a much better job of special effects, as it clearly hurt the movie.
