Product Description
The U.S. Cavalry knows that traveling the unmapped Arizona Territory canyons and trails in search of a woman kidnapped by Apaches could mean riding into a trap. So they ask the help of Ward Kinman, a prospector and scout who knows both the terrain and the ways of the warring tribesmen. Nearly a decade after Billy the Kid, Robert Taylor saddled up a second time and portrayed Kinman in Ambush, the film that began his steady string of work in a genre that suited him like a Colt .45 tucked easy into hip leather. Marguerite Roberts (True Grit) offers a script filled with blazing action and romantic subplots. Among the co-stars: Chief Thundercloud (Tonto in The Lone Ranger serials of 1938 and 1939).

Great story and the actors are very good; this is one of Robert Taylor's very best westerns. If you like western movies buy this one.

The dvd arrived as promised and is in excellent condition. Thank you.
Die Besetzung ist, wie schon gesagt, sehr gut und durchweg rollendeckend. Besonders intensiv wirkt die Darstellung der geschundenen Martha durch Jean Hagen, aber auch Arlene Dahl macht in ihrer konventioneller angelegten Rolle eine gute Figur. Robert Taylor wirkt als Scout gerade am Anfang verblüffend authentisch, nicht zuletzt dank eines stattlichen Vollbarts; dennoch dürfte vor allem der weibliche Teil des Publikums erleichtert sein, als der Held nach zwanzig Minuten endlich den Regimentsbarbier aufsucht und anschließend wieder sein edles Profil zeigt. John Hodiak (dessen geradezu absurde Ähnlichkeit mit John Travolta immer ein wenig verstörend wirkt) ist gottlob kein geschniegeltes Offizierchen, sondern ein kerniger Kerl, ein Gegenspieler von Format. Alle anderen füllen ihre Rollen glänzend aus, neben den oben genannten u.a. Leon Ames als Kommandant des Forts und der vielseitige John McIntire als Scout Holly (der seinen Vollbart, anders als Kinsman/Taylor, bis zum Ende trägt).
Ganz und gar "traditionell" ist die Zeichnung der Indianer, denen Gerechtigkeit widerfahren zu lassen (wie das kurz zuvor Ford in "Fort Apache" versucht hatte) hier offensichtlich niemandem in den Sinn gekommen ist. Warum die Apachen, unter ihrem Anführer mit dem bezeichnenden Namen "Diablito", aus der Reservation ausgebrochen sind, interessiert niemanden - sie sind ganz einfach der Feind, die quasi abstrakte Bedrohung, der gegenüber sich die Weißen bewähren müssen. Immerhin wird deren Heldentum keineswegs romantisiert - Kinsman und die Soldaten sind keine Ritter ohne Furcht und Tadel, sondern abgebrühte Kämpfer, zu deren Alltag es gehört, den Feind bei Gelegenheit auch aus dem Hinterhalt zu erledigen; und als ein Indianer den Helden mit dem Messer angreift, bietet dieser ihm keineswegs einen fairen Zweikampf, sondern zieht einfach den Revolver und schießt den Gegner aus nächster Nähe nieder. Beiden Seiten ist ganz offensichtlich jede List und Tücke recht, ohne dass das irgendwie moralisch bewertet würde. Der Focus liegt vollständig auf den Dramen innerhalb der Gruppe der Weißen, und diese Dramen werden, wie gesagt, glänzend dargestellt.
Die technische Qualität dieser spanischen DVD (englischer und spanischer Ton, nur spanische Untertitel) ist knapp durchschnittlich; Bildschärfe und Ton sind ordentlich, aber es sind etliche Kratzer auf dem Bild. Das sollte aber keinen Western-Freund von der Anschaffung dieses fesselnden Films abhalten.
How will it end? Will the Army rescue Mary and Capture Diablito? Who is Ann interested in, the Captain or Kinsman? Who will Ambush whom and where? Will the scouts survive?
This story of LUKE SHORT is well directed by SAM WOOD.
