Movie Review: Entertaining Chandler/O'Hara Western
Summary: 4 Stars
War Arrow is one of those Westerns that has fallen through the cracks over time. One reason is that there were so many of them. Another reason is that its male star, Jeff Chandler, was still in the early stages of superstardom before his untimely death in 1962. Another reason may be that War Arrow would never be considered one of the all-time great Westerns.
But War Arrow is also a very fun, entertaining Western with a great cast and top-notch execution. Chandler plays a cavalry officer sent to an outpost surrounded by besieging Kiowa Indians. Joined by fellow soldiers Charles Drake and Noah Beery, Chandler immediately annoys the fort's superior officer (played by John McIntire with his usual solid but natural acting style). Chandler accomplishes this by suggested that neighboring Seminole Indians would make a perfect weapon against the warring Kiowas.
Chandler also immediately becomes smitten with O'Hara, a widow of a recently killed cavalry soldier. O'Hara veers wildly from being madly in love with Chandler to being confused about being a widow in love so soon after her husband's death.
Chandler begins to train the Seminoles to fight, all the while realizing that McIntire is a rival for O'Hara's affections. Meanwhile, the Kiowas are working toward an attack on the fort.
The plot moves along crisply, with a number of nicely staged action pieces. Everyone does their job well and War Arrow is more than worth a Western-lover's time.
Movie Review: Entertaining little oater....
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, this vehicle for Maureen O'Hara and Jeff Chandler isn't top drawer; still, it's nicely entertaining and filled with rip-snorting action. Universal-International put a lot of good production values into their '50s Westerns, and their output with Jimmy Stewart, Audie Murphy, Rock Hudson, and even Rory Calhoun, is admirable. War Arrow has those good values, and some decent acting, as well. Not maybe in the league with NO NAME ON THE BULLET or CANYON PASSAGE or some of the other Universals of the period, but still worth the relatively inexpensive price charged.Movie Review: Westerns are good

I love Maureen O'Hara movies she is a very talented woman and a good actress. This show was different to most westerns but I enjoyed the concept. It was a classic in it's time and still is to-day. Worth buying and watchingMovie Review: War Arrow

Jeff Chandler and Maureen O'Hara did a great job of acting. The story line of the movie was like it was in the 1800's. The movie is a classic well worth watching and having in your library.Movie Review: Maureen O'Hara
Summary: 4 Stars
A good view for fun. Especially if you like old westerns. I like old movies because of my age; and I can't watch many of the newer movies.....too trashy. But I enjoyed this one.
