Very pleasant for us overseas to get background/information and interesting details from you "natives" at least for us who live in a country where they did not dubb or alter the original dialogue.
Scotsman James Paris Lee invented this Springfield Model Rifle in 1861. Born in Hawick, Scotland in 1831, died in New York 1904. He also invented the Remington Lee, the 1895 Lee Navy, the Lee Metford, and the Lee Enfield.
conveniently left out the fact that red cloud won the war and the forts were abandoned .also omits the fetterman massacre .as they used vast amounts of footage from the movie buffalo bill starring joel mcrrea seen in several shots i suppose they didnt have the money to film the actual story. springfields did make a difference in the wagon box fight and hayfield fight where the indians didnt realise the weapons were breech loaders. identical in appearence to the rifle they replaced the sioux expected them to be muzzle loaders so attacked in the open after the first volley causing many casualties.however bear in mind the choice of the springfield was largely economic as they had thousands of civil war rifles to convert to breech loading .the spenser had been adopted mainly by the cavalry post civil war and was a repeating carbine.however reports i read stated that due to its rate of fire and usage in the war by the time frontier troops got them barrels were very worn .rather than go to the expense of issuing new rifles the cavalry got springfield carbines in 45/70 and infantry rifles also used that caliber with a slightly longer cartridge.it was in hindsight a retroactive move.indian warfare was largely mobile so by the time the infantry had arrived with a single shot rifle that shot a thousand yards the enemy had long left .texas rangers had long advocated using sawn off shotguns when mounted against comanche backed by mutiple revolvers and repeating rifles for ground defence .few indian battles ranged over vast distances for shooting as opposed to the more conventional type battles fought in the civil war or europe.rate of fire was vital.the indians were being issued winchester rifles from the agencies for hunting .this proved a big factor at the big horn when springfield carbines jammed due to cartridge cases breaking in the breech and due to poor brass being welded there rendering the gun useless.the martini henry suffered similar problems .the springfield was as good as most rifles used by armies in that period.it wasnt until the end of ww2 that the belief that rifles needed to shoot a thousand yards with a very powerful cartridge was challenged when assault rifles appeared .most battlefield shooting is done at under 250 yards.general crooke noted in the apache campaigns that the indian tribal police and his apache corps of scouts as well as civillian scouts like al sieber insisted on being issued winchesters as they were better for the type of fighting they did .however he also noted that although apaches carried repeaters geronimo swore by his long tom infantry .50 cal springfield as he liked to snipe at long range .buffalo bill also used a .50 to kill buffalo so it was a good weapon in the right circumstances.
Decent western that seemed to be a generic Buffalo Bill movie made on a budget, as they reused a lot of the film from the Buffalo Bill movie starring Joel McCrea. But an entertaining movie for lovers of Western's like myself. Thanks for sharing!
I have no problem with the use of stock footage. And I get they couldn’t name this movie “Springfield Rifle” because of the Gary Cooper movie. But I honestly wish they used Infantry in this movie instead of Cavalry. Seeing troopers carrying Infantry weapons just makes it feel a bit awkward. I feel like the move “Tomahawk” in 1951 with Van Heflin as Jim Bridger did the story of Red Cloud’s War and Fort Phil Kearny much better. I’ve seen the use of Musketoons in these old westerns, why couldn’t they just replace the musketoons with Springfield carbines or something.
The title of the movie, seems off ,,when the battle at the end, didn't use the rifle , but a charge was shown , Jim fighting in the water..drowning a man.. hand to hand fighting, no show of the use of the new rifle . And, seemed many more Indians then soldiers. The soldiers won.. but, not with the new rifle!

No wonder I like that movie so much. I've seen it over 15x
This was about historically accurate as a movie about the Wright Brothers making a landing on the moon. 😒
They didn't?
❤❤❤❤
Jeez bet this film rocked the box office takings, can see it made 6 or 7 mill.. oops!! thousand during the showings at the theatres.

Colosseo.
The wonderful Dennis Morgan in a terrible movie.
Just an observation,...those Indian horses would have died, ridden that fast, for so long.
There is no real accuracy for a lot of the movie.
Dont bother
