N.p. United Artists, 1958. Vintage British Quad poster for the UK release of the 1958 film.

Joel McCrea gives a commanding performance as an embittered, racist Calvary commander who must lead the remains of his troop through miles of Indian territory after being decimated by Apaches. An engagingly humorless, bleak, and cynical "lost patrol" Western influenced by John Ford's "The Searchers" (1956).

Set in 1879 New Mexico Territory, shot on location in Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico.

39.5 x 29.75 inches, folded, as issued. Near Fine, with some faint creasing, edgewear, and two small closed tears to the lower right margin. Bright and unfaded.
