i saw this movie when i be 15 yr . old and really love it . it hold up pretty good after all those year . the always reliable william holden elevate the film just by be in it a he do with so many other film . the story start slow but the indian attack climax be still as exciting a ever . this be a very nostalgic film to me and i wait a long time for the dvd . unfortunately and the dvd be very disappointing . i be not sure if it the dvd transfer or the low budget ansco color they use in 1953 but it very grainy in part and blurry in others . i wish they would have use black and white a the ansco color be also very wash out and the graininess and blurriness be very distract . 8 star for the movie and 3 star for the dvd .
