Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaArrow in the Dust includes numerous wagon train and battle scenes from the 1952 movie Wagons West (1952). The shots of the wagon train going down a steep hill and several of the fighting sequences are obviously matches to the earlier movie. The most noticeable is when one of the pioneers is narrowly missed by an arrow.
- GoofsAbout 45 minutes into the movie Major Pepperis has his pants leg cut off by Stella so that she can bandage his leg. Then he goes to solve a problem with one of the wagons. When he returns his pants leg is un-torn and his leg is not bandaged.
- Quotes
Maj. Andy Pepperis: Gambler, gunfighter and now deserter?
Bart Laish: Yeah
Maj. Andy Pepperis: It looks like you added coward to the list.

Its A Bit Mediocre
A devotee of westerns I have watched some classics and disasters. Arrow in the Dust wasn't offensively bad but it does lack in most areas.
A great western will have a great lead/s that you can root for or rally against. They hunt down the killer, complete the impossible drive or defend the town/farm/girl etc.
Hayden lacks the charisma (in this film) to make you care about the cause and the supporting cast don't really fill you with a need to want them to get to safety.
You feel indifference.
The film has some good action along with some poor scenarios, the outcome being a sense of ho-hum.
Watch it but be warned it won't stir your emotions :)
