Viewing Notes

Another John Wayne / Injuns are bad western from Warner Instant. Figured I’d squeeze in another as long as they keep it up for beta testers. My least fave of the JW flicks on there… this is my 3rd or 4th of them. Just an excuse to fight and kill indians b/c they are evil. Crazy how stupidly racist this film is today but totally acceptable for that time period. Another reason to like this one less; Duke the horse doesn’t steal any scenes. Boo!
