Clayton Moore and Sharon Dexter in Buffalo Bill in Tomahawk Territory (1952)

Review by ma-cortes

Buffalo Bill in Tomahawk Territory

5/10

So-so Western about the mythical hero taking on Indians and swindlers

The scout Buffalo Bill ( Clayton Moore of Lone Ranger ) and his partner named Cactus ( Slim Andrews , a colleague similar to Tonto ) help some wagon covered being beset by Sioux natives and discover that they are soldiers posing as women . But the attackers are the Blake's hoodlums and then takes places an Indian uprising on the horizon . Blake ( Eddie Phillips ) is an ambitious villain who attempts to rob the gold from Tomahawk territory whose chief is White Cloud (Chief Yowlachie) and Black Hawk ( Chief Thundercloud ). Buffalo and Cactus are supported by the soldiers from Headquarter Fort Randall . As Bill finds land swindlers pitting Indians against ranchers in this fictionalized account of the life of the early career of the famous frontier hunter .

This is a passionless and light chronicle of the noted frontier explorer and Buffalo's life . Factually something of a disgrace , but emotionally right on the mark and there's precious little action . The comic relief is in charge of Buffalo's helper played by Andrews . Furthermore , songs sung by The Broome Brothers as the classic ¨Oh Susana ¨ . Director portrays the old westerner in adventurer style without critical light or truthful . It preserves the myth of a great hero with some pursuits , action and stirring staged final . However , it contains little interest here with various stock shots of American Buffalos and about Indian hamlets . Released by United Artists Corporation and propaganda message ending that says : ¨ Buy defense bonds ¨ . The film is regularly directed by Bernard Ray or Raymond Johnson . He's an expert Western filmmaker with various titles in this genre .

Other films about Buffalo Bill and much better are the followings : ¨Buffalo Bill ¨(44) by William A Wellman with Joel McCrea and Mauren O'Hara ; ¨ Buffalo Bill rides again ¨ (1947 ) by the the same director Bernard Ray with Richard Arlen and ¨Buffalo Bill and the Indians ¨(76 ) by Robert Altman with Paul Newman and Will Sampson .
