Cavish (as John Day), Myra Marsh ... Ma Anders, Jeanne Cooper ... Kate Lamar, Marc Cavell ... Carlos (as Mark Cavell), Edward Norris ... Mapes, Guy Williams ... Sergeant]

- During the war for Texas independence, one man leaves the Alamo before the end (chosen by lot to help others' families) but is too late to accomplish his mission, and is branded a coward. Since he cannot now expose a gang of turncoats, he infiltrates them instead. Can he save a wagon train of refugees from Wade's Guerillas? [Director: Budd Boetticher] [79 min, 1.37 : 1, Western, USA]

• U poslednjim danima bitke za Alamo grupa branitelja donosi odluku da jedan od njih napusti utvrđenje da bi se pobrinuo za njihove porodice kojima prete meksički vojnici i američki odmetnici. Kocka pada na Džona Strouda (G. Ford) koji napušta utvrđenu misiju, čemu svedoči poručnik Lamar (H. O'Brian), ne znajući zbog čega Stroud odlazi, pa zaključuje da je reč o kukavici. Kako se Lamar spasio, jer je izvršavao naredbu zapovednika Alama, pukovnika Trevisa, da odnese poruku generalu Semu Hjustonu koji okuplja vojsku za odlučujuću bitku protiv snaga meksičkog diktatora Santa Ane, on pronosi glas da je jedan jedini čovek koji je napustio Alamo Džon Stroud. Stroud nije uspeo da spasi ni svoju ni porodicu svojih prijatelja, jer su ih ubili američki odmetnici predvođeni Vejdom (V. Jory). A sada mu o glavi rade i stanovnici Frenklina, kojima je general Hjuston naredio evakuaciju kako bi izbegli nalet meksičkih trupa. Spasivši se linča, Stroud se pridružuje Vejdovim razbojnicima, ali samo zato da bi im se osvetio...

 SEMINOLE

Seminole (1953)

Magruder, Ralph Moody ... Kulak, Fay Roope ... Zachary Taylor, James Best ... Corp. Gerad, John Daheim ... Scott (as John Day)]

- A calvary Lt. on trial for murder, recounts his efforts make peace with the Siminole Indian tribe, under an evil major. [Director: Budd Boetticher] [87 min, 1.37 : 1, Western, USA]

• Florida, 1835. godine, utvrda King. Poručnik Lens Koldvel (R. Hudson) izveden je pred vojni sud i optužen za ubistvo i izdaju. Koldvel priča vlastitu priču o tome šta se dogodilo. On se po završetku akademije na Vest Pointu vratio na rodnu Floridu, gde je upravo počeo sukob između belih doseljenika i domorodačkog indijanskog stanovništva, ponosnih Seminola predvođenih poglavicom Osceolom (A. Quinn). Osceola je indijansko-belačkog porekla, a njegovo belačko ime je Džon Pauel. On i Koldvel su prijatelji iz mladosti, a tu je i mladenačka poručnikova ljubav Revere (B. Hale), koja se u međuvremenu zaljubila u Osceolu. Koldvel shvati da je za sukob Seminola i doseljenika najodgovorniji zapovednik utvrde King, major Degan (R. Carlson)... Seminole idu u red najneobičnijih severnoameričkih Indijanaca. Nastali su odvajanjem od južne grane naroda Krik, a u svoje su redove primali i pobunjene crne robove, koji su postali tzv. Crne Seminole. Specifične ikonografije, silno ponosni i ratnički sposobni, dugo i uspešno odupirali su se nasrtajima američke vlade i vojske da ih skloni sa njihove zemlje. Veći deo seminolskih plemena pristao je na preseljenja sa Floride na teritoriju zapadno od Misisipija, ali odlučna manjina, unutar koje se istakao poglavica Osceola, po nekim istraživanjima dominantno belačkih korena (nazivali su ga i Osceola - beli Indijanac), to je odbila. Rat između Seminola i Amerikanaca trajao je godinama, a formalni mirovni sporazum nikad nije potpisan. Tako su Seminole ostale jedini Indijanci u istoriji na tlu Sjedinjenih Država koji službeno nisu kapitulirali. Štaviše, njihov slučaj je nakon Drugog svetskog rata došao i pred Ujedinjene nacije, a aktima sa kraja 1950-ih i početkom 1960-ih američka vlada priznala je Seminolama suverenitet nad njihovom plemenskom teritorijom. Ugledni američki reditelj vesterna klasičnog perioda, Bad Botičer, već je 1953. godine realizovao film "Seminole", u kome se afirmativno odnosi prema borbi floridskih domorodaca za slobodu i suverenitet, prikazujući Osceolu kao miroljubivog i mudrog poglavicu, dakle, u skladu sa slikom koja se tokom decenija formirala o njemu, iako neki istorijski podaci upućuju i na drugačiju karakterizaciju. Botičerov film odlikuje se raskošnom vizuelnošću, jer je sjajno iskoristio autentične, egzotične floridske lokacije snimane u blistavom tehnikoloru, ali aduti su mu i vrlo kompaktna, pregledno izložena priča sa nizom uzbudljivih situacija, i glumačke zvezde. Mladi Rok Hadson izvrstan je u svojoj prvoj glavnoj ulozi, a još bolji je Entoni Kvin kao Osceola. Spomenimo i malu, ali izražajnu epizodnu ulogu buduće zvezde Lija Marvina.

 

 ŠEJN

Shane (1953)

[Alan Ladd ... Shane, Jean Arthur ... Marian Starrett, Van Heflin ... Joe Starrett, Brandon De Wilde ... Joey Starrett, Jack Palance ... Jack Wilson (as Walter Jack Palance), Ben Johnson ... Chris Calloway, Edgar Buchanan ... Fred Lewis, Emile Meyer ... Rufus Ryker, Elisha Cook Jr. ... Stonewall Torrey, Douglas Spencer ... Axel 'Swede' Shipstead, John Dierkes ... Morgan Ryker, Ellen Corby ... Mrs. Liz Torrey, Paul McVey ... Sam Grafton, John Miller ... Will Atkey - Bartender, Edith Evanson ... Mrs. Shipstead]

- A weary gunfighter attempts to settle down with a homestead family, but a smoldering settler/rancher conflict forces him to act. Shane rides into a conflict between cattleman Ryker and a bunch of settlers, like the Starretts, whose land Ryker wants. When Shane beats up Ryker's man Chris, Ryker tries to buy him. Then Shane and Joe take on the whole Ryker crew. Ryker sends to Cheyenne for truly evil gunslinger Wilson. We wonder about Shane's relation to Joe's wife Marian. Shane must clear out all the guns from the valley before he can ride off with Joey hollering "Shane... Shane... Come Back!" [Director: George Stevens] [118 min, 1.37 : 1, Drama l Romance l Western, USA]

• Vajoming, osamdesetih godina pretprošlog veka. Tajanstveni kauboj Šejn (A. Ladd) dolazi na mali porodični ranč, prihvata gostoprimstvo farmera i zaposli se kao njihov pomoćnik. Porodica ne zna da je on nekadašnji revolveraš koji se skriva jer želi da raskine sa svojom prošlošću. Otac porodice, Džo Staret (V. Heflin), zadivljen je Šejnovom okretnošću i načinom kako se obračunao sa neprijateljski nastrojenim ljudima, ali još uvek nema u njega potpuno poverenje. Takođe, ubrzo primeti da je došljak postao idol njegovom sinu Džoju (B. de Wilde), a shvata i da se njegova supruga Marijan (J. Arthur) zagrejala za njega. Lokalni stočari, braća Rajker, žele da oteraju porodicu Staret i unajme opasnog revolveraša Vilsona (J. Palance). Nakon obračuna sa njegovim ljudima, Šejn će shvatiti da je obračun sa Vilsonom neminovan... "Šejn" slavnog filmskog reditelja Džordža Stivensa vrhunsko je ostvarenje i, po mnogim filmskim stručnjacima, jedan od najboljih vesterna svih vremena. Izvrsnih likova (naročito nimalo stereotipnog prikaza usamljenog revolveraša), sjajne priče, precizno režiran, film donosi priču o čovekovoj samoći, njegovim moralnim dilemama i pitanjima ideala i životnim uzorima.

Sa svojim velikim prostranstvima pašnjaka i poljoprivrednog zemljišta, Teksas je nudio zlatna obećanja nebrojenih bogatstava. Ali Teksašani osiromašeni, četvorogodišnjim ratom, bili su žrtve svih vrsta avanturista i profitera. Ovi špekulanti su kupovali zemlju, pamuk i stoku po niskim cenama, jer Teksašani nisu mogli priuštiti da plaćaju poreze zelenašima koje su zahtevali, neki korumpirani poverenici. Većina se pomirila sa svojom sudbinom u gorkoj tišini. Ostali su se pobunili protiv nepravde, rizikujući svoje bogatstvo i živote. Postali su odmetnici, a zbog uzroka su smatrani pošteni.

The messenger gives the treaty to the Lieutenant who commandeers the messenger to join his patrol. The patrol, who are unaware of the fate of Kirby and his party have nine days to get the treaty to the Chief lest a new uprising start. At the trading post is Taslik, who offers to lead the patrol to the Chief.

Unknown to the patrol, Taslik and Wanima, who is shadowing the patrol, are strongly against the peace treaty. The two sabotage the patrol's supplies at every turn in various undetected ways.
