Critics’ Choice and Mill Creek have been quietly adding to their Critics’ Choice Collection, bringing out some cool double- and triple-featureson DVD. The George Montgomery Western Triple Feature set gives us Indian Uprising (1952), Battle At Rogue River (1954) and Masterson Of Kansas (1954). Those last two were also part of Mill Creek’s set The Fastest Guns Of The West: The William Castle Western Collection, which many of you probably already own.
While the repetition is unfortunate, it’s great to have Ray Navarro’s Indian Uprising available again. It’s a cavalry picture, shot at Corriganville, Bronson Canyon and the Iverson Ranch in Super Cinecolor by Ellis Carter. I kinda doubt these will ever make it to Blu-Ray, but the DVD transfers are top-knotch — and the price is nice, too.
50 Westerns From The 50s. 
Toby, George Montgomery is one of my all-time favorite Western actors in movies and television. Montgomery was quite an individual and very much a Renaissance man. He was a painter, sculptor, furniture craftsman, architect, as well as an actor, producer, director, and writer. He was a natural for Western movies and tv, because he was born and raised up on a Montana ranch. Montgomery was the real deal. He was in more westerns during the 1950’s than anyone, except for Randolph Scott. For me, George Montgomery’s appealing assured presence is always a welcome sight in any type of movie he appeared in.
I first recall viewing INDIAN UPRISING(filmed 1951, released 1952) on the WREC Channel 3 Memphis EARLY MOVIE in 1968. A lot of Montgomery movies were aired in my neck of the woods during the 1960’s and ’70’s. Needless to say, UNDIAN UPRISING is a good and interesting Western, It shows not only the Apache’s brutal treatment of the White men, but also the White men’s brutal treatment of the Apache. I think the movie is well worth viewing.
