Apachenschlacht am schwarzen Berge

This has got nothing to do with anyone called Susanna. There is no Susanna in the film. Dumb title.

The US cavalry patrol the mountains to prevent gold prospectors from exploring and getting into trouble with Sioux Indians. As a consequence, they don't see eye to eye with local cowboys who are also interested in gold prospecting.

The story is pretty aimless and doesn't really go anywhere until we have the final battle with the Indians and this end sequence almost rescues the film. It just doesn't quite do it thanks to the bland characters that we have spent our time with up to that point.

The sound quality isn't very good but the film does score points for the outdoor settings and cavalry v Indian sequences. We get all the clichés - bar-room brawl, etc and the leading lady sings a song which is terrible. Cowboys want to hear an uptempo number and so do we as an audience. All Western saloon songs should be quick-paced with a catchy tune and colourful, cool outfits for the girls to dance along in. Not the nonsense served up in this film.

Overall, it's a "not quite good enough" for this effort.
