This classic is one of my favourites McDonald Carey is great (see Cave Of Outlaws) Maureen O'Hara is as beautifull as ever. Highly rec. BUT just before you rush to buy this plus several others that have ben restored think Australia Gun For A Coward, Tomahawk, Canyon Passage and Comanche Territory all sell for $6 Australian and if you fancy fout titles then its $20 for 4 there are a stack of FULLY REMASTERED classics in Australia won't play in the USA you say well a multi zone dvd player retails in Australia for under $15 just buy an adaptor and start saving a bundle. Back to the film great colour sound in fact all was great including the price I paid. Happy viewing

Set in 1820s Texas, COMANCHE TERRITORY features frontiersman Jim Bowie.

After he's attacked by a band of Indians, Bowie (Carey) is rescued by ex-Congressman Dan'l Seeger (Geer), who's wounded in the shoulder during the fight. Bowie removes the bullet; both he and Seeger are captured by the Comanches. The straight-talking Bowie impresses an old Chief (Cordoba) by explaining how to make his famous knife. The Comanches agree to a treaty renewal that would permit silver mining on tribal land. Bowie and Seeger must then go up against bank and saloon owner Katie Howard (O'Hara), who Dan'l believes wounded him and stole the treaty papers.


As of 1/09, "Comanche Territory" was not available on DVD.

(5.1) Comanche Territory (1950) - Maureen O'Hara/Macdonald Carey/Will Geer/Charles Drake/Pedro de Cordoba/Ian MacDonald/Glenn Strange (Uncredited: Iron Eyes Cody/I. Stanford Jolley)

I usually hate Westerns, but I love this film! Maureen O'Hara is as feisty as ever. The only sad part is knowing that Jim Bowie dies in real life!

This movie was filmed in Sedona AZ which has grown somewhat since 1950 but the scenery is almost as beautiful now as it was then!
