Daniela a enjoyable movie that people must see! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is really quite unique for its time; few movies during this era were actually shot on location. Most of the movie is filmed in St. Augustine and it looks BEAUTIFUL in technicolor! This Warner Bros-made adventure film is packed with intense action scenes which were the first in movie history to include the Wilhelm scream stock recording which was later used in over 400 films including the Star Wars movies. This film includes the only significant lead role in Mari Aldon's very short-lived career; honestly I don't understand why because I thought she was definitely acceptable as the leading lady in this movie. But perhaps the most significantly different feature of this movie is the fact that REAL Seminole Indians were cast in the movie; no "Brown Face"! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Great Florida Western with Gary Cooper! Notable: this is the very first known film to use the Wilhelm Scream sound effect that's been used hundres of times since.
