Battles of Chief Pontiac
(USA, 1952)

 

 

Western, 72 min, b/w

Director:

Felix E. Feist
 

Writer:

Jack DeWitt
 

 
Genre:
Action / Western
 
Plot Summary:
A surprisingly accurate, low budget, historical drama. The story of a white scout(Barker)attempting to broker a peace agreement between English Colonials and Chief Pontiac and his Ottawa tribe. Kroeger is loathsome as German Hesian mercenary. The "gifts" of small-pox infected blankets to the Indians is a reminder of the brutality of the times. A good cast performs well, and of course Barker, a former Tarzan, finds several chances to bare his chest! This is a hard one to find on video or TV but well worth watching.
 
Lex Barker put Helen Westcott over his knees and gives her seven or eight smacks to the seat of her long shirt with a shoe, over an arguement over her being his bride or not.
