Short Review

Fort Bowie is a disappointing film. It is about Captain Thompson who favors peace talks but Major Wharton advocates war with the renegade Apaches led by Chief Victorio at Fort Bowie. Ben Johnson and Kent Taylor give horrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Howard W. Koch did a terrible directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.
