A Western Tale of Courage and Camp Justice
Robert Taylor stars as a pretty Indian scout who earns credibility through perilous duties. John Hodiak plays the rule‑bound Army officer who clashes with Taylor yet aids a rescue. Arlene Dahl and Jean Hagen provide motive as love interests in this brisk frontier drama. The ambush sequence stands out as a strong action highlight.

When Willie Comes Marching Home review at the State Theater
20th Century Fox comedy directed by John Ford pokes fun at the armed forces from top brass to veterans. Dan Dailey plays a Punxsutawney native who enlists after Pearl Harbor and endures training, overseas service, and a humorous homecoming provoked by a wary hometown. Colleen Townsend and Corinne Calvet share top female roles. William Demarest plays Dailey’s father and delivers his usual veteran wit. The reviewer calls the film slow early but entertaining, with London and Washington scenes noted as highly amusing.
