Ambush

When the apache indians kidnap the daughter of a military man, a party goes out to bring her back. If they can. The native american tribal leader diablito is known to be violent, and running out of places to go. It won't be easy. Stars robert taylor and john hodiak, with their own issues to be worked out. Of course. Gotta have that subplot. Beautiful locations of the west. Lupton is right on the border with new mexico. And "corriganville movie ranch" is now a los angeles park. Check out the interesting history in wikipedia dot org....it was owned by a hollywood stunt man, and later by comedian bob hope. Victor thunderclound is here as tana, an apache. Thundercloud may or may not actually have been native american, according to wikipedia. He was also tonto in "the lone ranger"! In the film, the group catches up to diablito about an hour into the film... the first part is all setup. Then the big confrontation. Which is over pretty quickly. It's okay, but i can see why it didn't win any oscars. Directed by sam wood. Based on a story by luke short. Many of his works were made into film.
