This is an savory movie spot in Colonial America, and it seems fresher for that reason than maybe it really is. But the yarn is salubrious, managing to be both patriotic and cynical, until a limp ending.
John Wayne battles Loyalist George Sanders and outrageous trader Brian Donlevy, who is selling arms to Indians, under the *protection* of Sanders. So Duke does what Duke does so well, busting up the shipment and seeing that the values of Western Civilization prevail. Then the movie ends not with a shootout or tomahawk battle, but rather with well-acted yet shallow courtroom intrigue. Suppose.
Still, another thing that makes this movie better than the spot might otherwise allow is the charismatic Claire Trevor, exquisite even in what is basically a throwaway tomboy role. Let’s call her the Duchess, at least for the purposes of this movie; not because she was in very many well-known westerns or had any particular tie to the Duke, but because she was such a consummate performer that she could contain her believe in a scene with him, as she did in Stagecoach.

Another point this film serves to illustrate is how even programmers like this one had better scripts than most anything produced today. Despite the lopsided yarn, it is evident that immense care was given to the dialogue, and powerful devotion given to performances.
In summation: Generally more tantalizing than Drums Along the Mohawk; not better, mind you, fair more tantalizing.
I have to admit it. John Wayne made a LOT of “generic” westerns.

ALLEGHENY UPRISING, Stagecoach, The Searchers, Encourage To Bataan and Factual Grit are ALL John Wayne at his best.
He got the Oscar for Best Actor in “Proper Grit” but he deserved it more for his performance in “The Searchers.” a movie in which he portrays a man dead-set on Rotten revenge.
Allegheny Uprising presents John as an early colonist (before the American Revolution) . It tells a lively fable of when we were all proud to call ourselves “British” citizens.
No cheesy shootouts or costumes…but an intricate portrayal of the building of our Nation.
Newly out on DVD…it’s well worth a scrutinize!
