This is a fun action adventure set in the 18th century that mixed a Jim Bowie type of character with "Last of the Mohicans" as the British Forces in Albany have to treat with their French counterparts in Montreal via the treacherous Iroqouis trail. Thing is, the British are getting bit of a raw deal - and they suspect that there is a spy in their midst. When the young "Sgt. Cutler" (Don Garner) is killed in suspicious circumstances and is subsequently suspected of being that infiltrator, his brother "Nat/Hawkeye" (George Montgomery) sets out to prove his innocence and expose the real culprit. It's a colourful story with plenty of skirmishing, tomahawks and just a hint of romantic swan song from Brenda Marshall as our hero closes in on the traitor, the identity of whom I think we all guess quite quickly... Still, it's a decent effort from all, and I quite enjoyed it.
