Allegheny Uprising (DVD)

]]>

Allegheny Uprising is an engaging blend of historical fiction, boisterous backwoods comedy, and pretty much nonstop rowdydow that qualifies as one of John Wayne's more offbeat vehicles. Made half a year after his stellar breakout in Stagecoach, the picture re-teams Wayne with Claire Trevor as a frontier tomboy who supplies feisty love interest. A decade and a half before the Revolutionary War, a community in south-central Pennsylvania (apparently Chambersburg) stages a principled rebellion against King George III's forces that's more social protest than full-fledged revolt. Wayne plays a thoughtful fellow named Jim Smith who, with his "men of the Conococheague," demonstrates to the Crown that it's bad faith to lend military protection to unscrupulous traders (cue Brian Donlevy) clandestinely peddling firearms and English-made weaponry to the Indians.

Now, there just aren't that many "Westerns" set in Pennsylvania, so Allegheny Uprising gets points for freshness. It also falls into a limbo between A and B movies, coming in at a trim 80 minutes but boasting larger action set-pieces (shot on location in credibly Pennsylvanian pockets of California) than was customary for RKO, a studio that tended toward in-house miniatures; Nicholas Musuraca, a future Val Lewton and film noir mainstay, proves himself a master of sunlit cinematography as well. Director William A. Seiter (with a string of Shirley Temple movies behind him) never finds a satisfying overall rhythm, and there are odd scraps of unrealized intentions in producer P.J. Wolfson's script (e.g., the sudden murder of a captured Indian raider at knifepoint, whereupon Smith ruefully observes, "We teach 'em everything, don't we?"). The most interesting element of the film is George Sanders' performance as an intransigent Brit officer who causes much of the strife with the Colonials, yet discloses unexpected vulnerability in private moments. --Richard T. Jameson

I live in Ft. Loudon, Pa. which is shown in this movie and bought this movies so I could have a visual experience of what it was like to live here in this time period. There should be a lot more movies made like this of old towns in America and how the people living in them endured many hardships to become what they are today. James Smith was a man who should be remembered as an real American hero. The movies pictures his life as one who people looked up to for survival in a wilderness of many dangers. The clash between the different cultures was full of daily, real life adventure. It was interesting to see that each had to take some of the others cultures surrounding them to survive. It stayed fairly close to what really happened in history but some may not like it because people are use to much more action in movies. If you already know the history of this time period in Pennsylvania you will enjoy the movie a lot more. It was uplifting to see the people in visual example who went before us to clear the wilderness of this great country we live in. U.S.A.

John Wayne

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

Yes, it's a B movie, but it is John Wayne. John loved his country and this is about an era that helped lead us to form this great land. I will not say it is historically correct, but it is an enjoyable movie. I bought it because I wanted to add to my John Wayne collection and I enjoy that period of history. You can not relive history, but you can learn from it. Likewise, you may not be able to remake history in a film, but you can use that film to learn what is true and what is not. I hope that if I have any students interested in history and film, I can utilize this film and many others to help them see the difference between history and Hollywood. Wayne is young in this film and he shows the ability to take over a film with his presence alone. I am happy that I have this film in my collection.

A really nice film with John Wayne. These can be a little dated but they play well for an early American adventure.

John Wayne pitted against George Sanders - a must for me !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have very little to add to A.W. Wilson's excellent review, except that it was great to see John Wayne and George Sanders pitted against each other in this entertaining yarn set ten years before the American war of Independence. Another bonus for me was the seriously eccentric British actor, Wilfrid Lawson, doing his bonkers best as one of Wayne's bunch of rebel frontiersmen. Pristine black and white print and sound quality with subtitles for the hard of hearing (and in French) and a couple of special features which I haven't checked out yet.
