Chuka (1967)
Synopsis: In this oddly cast
western, John Mills stars as the colonel who has left the employ of Queen
Victoria's Fifth Lancers and now commands a fort besieged by excited Arapaho
Indians. Inside the stockade are a number of thugs, among them Chuka (Rod
Taylor), a gunfighter who used to be friendly with the Indians and is now even
more friendly with Luciana Paluzzi.
There's also surly scout James
Whitmore, German sergeant Ernest Borgnine and the usual assortment of drunks,
cowards and racists. Things pick up a bit when the Arapaho arrive.
