ONLY THE VALIANT (1950)
Review date: 2008-12-02 Rating: 10 out of 10
Gregory Peck is a hard-nosed leader of a rough group of cavalry soldiers. The company's dislike for Peck intensifies when he assigns a popular lieutenant to take his place on a dangerous mission delivering a captured Apache chief across the barren desert. The lieutenant is tortured and killed and the cavalry blame Peck. Peck is asked to hold out at deserted fort and his men are determined to make him pay.
Will Peck save his cavalry? Will his men succeed in killing him? Will Apache have their revenge?
Excellent B/W movie with good story, acting and direction.
Watch and ENJOY.(Suki,ENGLAND,UK)

"Gregory Peck Series ... Only the Valiant (1951) ... Warner Bros."
Review date: 2008-09-21 Rating: 10 out of 10
Warner Bros. presents "ONLY THE VALIANT" (13 April 1951) (105 mins/B&W) (Dolby digitally remastered) -- Our story line and plot, "Only the Valiant" was based on a novel by Charles Marquis Warren --- As our would be hero Capt. Richard Lance (Gregory Peck) is unjustly held responsible, by his intended Cathy Eversham (Barbara Payton) and his men for an Indian massacre death of another suitor Lt. Holloway. Holloway (Gig Young) is killed while escorting a dangerous Indian chief Tucsos (Michael Ansara) to another fort's prison, but the chief escapes --- Lance knows their fort is in danger of Indian attack, so he volunteers taking a small group of army misfits to an abandoned nearby army fort to defend a mountain pass against the oncoming Indian assault --- Stall for time is their mission until reinforcements from another fort arrive --- The men in this small group of malcontents, deserters, psychopaths & cowards all hate Capt. Lance & wish him dead --- Many of the men recognize that Lance's survival instincts, military knowledge & leadership are the only chance the group has of staying alive --- Among the film's misfits are Ward Bond (who almost steals the film) Gig Young, Lon Chaney Jr., Neville Brand, Jeff Corey and Steve Brodie giving outstanding performances in every scene.
