Gary Cooper saves his wagon "caravan" from Indian attack November 1, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Although this was Gary Cooper's next film after "Morocco" and despite its title, "Fighting Caravans" is not another film about the French Foreign Legion, but rather a Western. Cooper plays Clint Belmet, who is arrested for disturbing the peace right before he was to leave Missouri to be the guide for a caravan of wagons heading west. His partners, Bill Jackson (Ernest Torrence) and Jim Bridger (Tully Marshall), talk Felice (Lily Damita), an orphaned French girl who wagon has just joined the caravan, to pretend to be Clint's wife to get him out of jail. Once free, Clint is more than willing to play the bridegroom, but apologizes where it is clear Felice is angry. The two become friends worrying Bill and Jim that Clint is going to want to marry and settle down. Meanwhile, another member of the caravan, Lee Murdock (Fred Kohler), plays to betray them to the Indians who attack in the final real. This 1931 film, based on the 1929 novel by Zane Grey, was directed by Otto Brown and David Burton. Cooper's performance is okay, although the script does not require him to do much along the way except look handsome. "Fighting Caravans" was such a big production that the two directors shot enough footage that the extra was used as background for the 1934 film "Wagon Wheels" starring Randolph Scott. Finally, to make things really interesting, this film, which is an above-average Western from the early days of talking pictures, has been shown on television as "Blazing Arrows."
