Movie Title: War Arrow War Arrow is available for streaming or downloading. |
War Arrow is one of those Westerns that has fallen through the cracks over time. One reason is that there were so many of them. Another reason is that its male star, Jeff Chandler, was smooth in the early stages of superstardom before his untimely death in 1962. Another reason may be that War Arrow would never be considered one of the all-time expansive Westerns.

But War Arrow is also a very fun, interesting Western with a titanic cast and suited execution. Chandler plays a cavalry officer sent to an outpost surrounded by besieging Kiowa Indians. Joined by fellow soldiers Charles Drake and Noah Beery, Chandler immediately annoys the fort’s well-behaved officer (played by John McIntire with his usual solid but natural acting style) . Chandler accomplishes this by suggested that neighboring Seminole Indians would obtain a perfect weapon against the warring Kiowas.
Chandler also immediately becomes smitten with O’Hara, a widow of a recently killed cavalry soldier. O’Hara veers wildly from being madly in adore with Chandler to being confused about being a widow in treasure so soon after her husband’s death.

Chandler begins to swear the Seminoles to fight, all the while realizing that McIntire is a rival for O’Hara’s affections. Meanwhile, the Kiowas are working toward an attack on the fort.
The region moves along crisply, with a number of nicely staged action pieces. Everyone does their job well and War Arrow is more than worth a Western-lover’s time.
While « B » westerns died out in the early 50s, with the rising popularity of television, Hollywood continued to fabricate dozens of « A » westerns with name stars and more adult situations. Some were correct classics like « Shane » and « The Searchers »–some were honest « product »–something to own half of a double bill. « War Arrow » falls into the latter category.

Jeff Chandler stars as a US cavalry officer who tries to spend a « advantageous » Indian tribe–the Seminoles–against a « terrible » tribe of marauding Kiowas. Let’s not secure into « political correctness »–the film is over 50 years traditional. Not only does he have his hands fleshy with these Native Americans, the commanding officer of the local fort, played by a gruff John McIntyre, resents his presence and « progressive » ideas. A ravishing « widow »–Maureen O’Hara–is trapped at the fort, and she soon has Jeff practically drooling over her. Since John wants her too, the « rapport » between the two men plunges further downhill. The movie toddles along for about an hour, before a climactic attack on the fort by those substandard Kiowas–led by Jay Silverheels, taking a fracture from his « first-rate guy » Tonto image!
Jeff Chandler, with his piercing eyes and prematurely grey hair, gives the film more dignity than it deserves. He was a salubrious actor, and his early death deprived the movies of a blooming leading man. Maureen O’Hara has always been a ravishing woman–that red hair, those flashing eyes, the fiery « Irish colleen » personality–yet, in this film, she seems to be going through the motions. Perhaps after « The Level-headed Man », movies like this were not exactly enchanting for her. Droll relief is provided by Noah Beery as one of Mr. Chandler’s sidekicks–Charles Drake is the other. Suzan Ball sizzles as an « Indian maid », while Henry Brandon is solid as her father, the Seminole chief–not the first or last time that Mr. Brandon would play a Native American. Another member of the tribe, with totally understandable « hots » for Ms. Ball, is played by Dennis Weaver–not too well–a well-behaved thing that « Gunsmoke » was objective around the corner! « B » western actor, Jim Bannon, is also featured–he may bill himself as « James » here, but his acting is as wooden and one-dimensional as ever.
The DVD exhibits a colourful, if slightly hazy, full-screen record, and mono sound.

I bought « War Arrow » because I like westerns, Jeff Chandler and Maureen O’Hara–but sometimes, even with a lot of top-notch ingredients, you can wind up with a second-rate stew! I would file this one under « disappointing ».
