Distant Drums, classic Gary Cooper swagger.

Good supporting cast and story line, with exotic shots of the everglades and a typical happy ending true to the period of time it was presented.

Distant Drums DVD

This is a fine adventure movie directed by Raoul Walsh. I loved the fact it was filmed on location in and near the Everglades. For the most part, I thought it was a fair representation of an historical event. It was happily devoid of politically correct philosophy prevalent in so many movies today. Gary Cooper was great as the action hero.

The DVD itself was of a surprisingly good quality. It is a shame that there were not any special features, or a commentary.

It is a good DVD to add to one's collection.

Good actioner. Remade plot.

DISTANT DRUMS is good action entertainment and worth a viewing. the Actor/director combination of Gary Cooper & Raoul Walsh is hard to beat.

The basic plot (accomplishing the objective is easier than GETTING BACK from it) is a reworking of Errol Flynn's OBJECTIVE BUMRA (1945) which, not coincidentally, was also directed by the colorful Raoul Walsh,who had a diffent story every time he was asked about how he lost an eye. Walsh was Flynn's favorite director (6 films) even those most of Flynn's best work was done with one the best (and most overlooked) directors of all time, Michael Curtiz. Curtiz was a taskmaster. He was extremely popular with Studio Chief, Jack Warner, for bringing projects in on time and on budget but Flynn chafed under Curtiz direction.

A GREAT ACTION MOVIE FOR A LOST GENERATION!

What a great movie! For 1951, Gary Cooper at his best. Battles with Spanish, and Seminole Indians running in Florida in the 1840s. They filmed some of the movie in Saint Augustine, at Castillo de San Marcos, a 300 year old castle still standing today. Very entertaining movie, worth the investment! And good soundtrack also.

Oldies

Plenty of suspense and action and adventure a real classic.Gary Cooper plays his part well in this movie and the cast make it so real, Simole indians are a bad bunch and cooper must save the girl played by Mari Aldon who was captive to them.
