Set in a small Filipino village in 1902, this tale is about a small band of US calvarymen help the locals with such things as building bridges, housing and getting things running for themselves.
A renagade nationalist sees the US soldiers helping his people with food amd medicine and decides to stop it any way he can. Sgt. Judd Norcutt (John Agar) is in charge and will not let anything stop his men from helping the people of the village.
This is an interesting film that for some reason has been lost to the cracks in filmmaking time. The cast also includes Alicia Vergel, Richard Arlen, William Phipps, Myron Healey, and of course Vic Diaz.
It's a color film and with a cast like is mentioned above, I'm shocked it's not better known. There are some very good battle sequences and the film never slows down.
I've read some hogwash garbage about the film being offensive to some. If you're one of those just shut up and move on. I know it's 2024 and everyone seems to have to whine about something, but remember it's only a movie.
