Bringing Back Custer's Cadaver

7th Cavalry finds Randolph Scott as a captain in same who was given an order to go back for supplies by General Custer himself before the Little Big Horn. Problem is no one heard the order and when he returns to his post and finds out about the massacre, he's shunned like a pariah even by his fiancé Barbara Hale.

Well nobody can prove anything so Scott's still in good standing as a soldier with only his reputation trashed. He then gets a detail to go out to the Little Big Horn battlefield and bring back Custer's body. And he gets a picked of guardhouse regulars as his command because no one really wants to risk any of the good soldiers on the post.

As you can imagine this is one tension filled detail with solid character actors like Jay C. Flippen, Denver Pyle, Leo Gordon, Frank Faylen along for the detail.

Though it's a technically competent film with a great cast, 7th Cavalry in the end is a strangely actionless film. Not quite up to the standards Randolph Scott had during the Fifties with his series of high quality B westerns for Budd Boetticher and others.

I will say this compared with Randolph Scott, Chuck Connors as Jason McCord in Branded was given the key to the city.
