Apache Drums (1951)
5/10
Almost exact scene here as in 'Zulu'.
24 June 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I am surprised that no one has made the connection between a sequence in this movie and an almost identical one in the movie 'Zulu'. I have seen no connection on the IMDb site or in any movie books or trivia sites. The townsfolk are surrounded and besieged by the Apaches in a small church. After an initial assault the Apaches withdraw and begin chanting and playing their drums. The anti-hero character suggests that they sing their own song to counter this and to lift their own spirits. A large number of the men in the besieged church are Welsh miners from the town, led by the preacher character they begin singing 'Men of Harlech' in Welsh. Apart from the fact that they sing in Welsh, which I think is more accurate and actually better, this is almost directly copied for the similar sequence in the movie 'Zulu'.
