the last hunt be one of the few western ever make to deal with buffalo hunting and both a a sport and business and a a method of win the plain indian war . before the white man set foot on the other side of the mississippi and the plain use to have herd of american bison as large a some of our large city . by the time of the period the last hunt be set in and the buffalo have be all but wipe out . the 20th century and due to the effort of conservationist and saw a revival in population of the specie and but not hardly like it once be . robert taylor and stewart granger be co star in a second film together and this one be far superior to all the brother be valiant . here stewart granger be the good guy and a world weary buffalo hunter and who have to go back to a job he hat because of financial consideration . the partner he choose to throw in with be robert taylor . forget taylor for the moment and i doubt if there ever be a meaner and nasty soul than charlie gilsen who taylor portrays . in devil doorway he be an american indian fight against the prejudice stir up by a racist play by louis calhern . in the last hunt and he the racist here . he kill both buffalo and indian for pure pleasure . he kill one indian family when they steal his mule and take the widow of one captive . like some barbarian conqueror he expect the pleasure of debra paget sexual favor . he actually mad when paget doesn not see it that way . no matter how often they refer to russ tamblyn a a halfbreed and i be never really convince he be any part indian . it the only weakness i find in the last hunt . however lloyd nolan and the grizzled old buffalo skinner taylor and granger bring along be just great . nolan steal every scene he in with the cast . for those who like their western real and who want to see a side of robert taylor never see on screen and and who do not like cheap heroic and the last hunt be the ideal hunt .
