"Gregory Peck Series ... Only the Valiant (1951) ... Warner Bros." (2008-09-21)  Warner Bros. presents "ONLY THE VALIANT" (13 April 1951) (105 mins/B&W) (Dolby digitally remastered) -- Our story line and plot, "Only the Valiant" was based on a novel by Charles Marquis Warren --- As our would be hero Capt. Richard Lance (Gregory Peck) is unjustly held responsible, by his intended Cathy Eversham (Barbara Payton) and his men for an Indian massacre death of another suitor Lt. Holloway. Holloway (Gig Young) is killed while escorting a dangerous Indian chief Tucsos (Michael Ansara) to another fort's prison, but the chief escapes --- Lance knows their fort is in danger of Indian attack, so he volunteers taking a small group of army misfits to an abandoned nearby army fort to defend a mountain pass against the oncoming Indian assault --- Stall for time is their mission until reinforcements from another fort arrive --- The men in this small group of malcontents, deserters, psychopaths & cowards all hate Capt. Lance & wish him dead --- Many of the men recognize that Lance's survival instincts, military knowledge & leadership are the only chance the group has of staying alive --- Among the film's misfits are Ward Bond (who almost steals the film) Gig Young, Lon Chaney Jr., Neville Brand, Jeff Corey and Steve Brodie giving outstanding performances in every scene.Under the production staff of:Gordon M.

Gran actuacion de Gregory Peck en excelente western (2000-05-03)  Only the valiant es un western que cumple con todas las reglas del genero. Sobresalen las actuaciones protagonicas de Peck y de Ward Bond en el papel de soldado borrachin. Es de destacar los valores morales del protagonista que se arriesga a una accion suicida para salvar su honor y el de la caballeria. Es memorable la escena en que el Cap.Lance (Peck) forma a la patrulla para explicarles por que eligio a cada uno para esa mision.
