Escape From Fort Bravo (1953) by John Struges.

“It’s a western, the subject of which foresees the Major Dundee by Sam Peckinpah. The way the landscapes are filmed and their relations with the characters is full of a grace you don’t always find in Sturges’ works. The expressive use of the landscapes is astonishing. There is a real beauty and a visual grace. It’s a film about military tactics, about the way to escape a surrounding, it’s fantastic and the screenplay by Frank Fenton is absolutely beautiful.”
