4.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Average Powers Western, April 5, 2006

By

(VINE VOICE)   

This review is from: Pony Soldier [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Pony Soldier rates a notch or two at least above your average western for a number of reasons. One, both the heroes and the Indians are from Canada, which for some reason wasn't done a lot, except for Alan Ladd's Saskatchewan (also a very good Canadian western). Tyrone Power plays a newly minted Canadian Mountie who is charged with rescuing two white hostages who have been captured by Canadian Cree Indians who have moved over the American border looking for food to hunt. The Indians have a reasonable head chief, but an unreasonable younger leader, played by Cameron Mitchell, who resists the head chief's wishes to follow Powers back to Canada, and relinquish the hostages.

Another discriminator making this better than average are subtle, but notable. The head Indian chief gets to be a hero in the final showdown, which is very rare for any Western. The other bad guy besides Mitchell's Indian happens to be the male hostage, played by Robert Horton, famous for starring in the Wagon Train television series. He is obviously not redeemable, and won't be a voice of wisdom to Power's rookie Mountie.

The final reason is that the way that the plot unfold is a little different than you might expect. All in all, Pony Soldier is an enjoyable and entertaining film.

Not the best of a Tyrone Power 'epic' but enjoyable just the same. The mountain locations are magnificent as is the man himself! I enjoyed it very much as it brought back many happy memories.
