Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaProducer A.C. Lyles stated in later years that Paramount costume designer Edith Head would pull clothing from Paramount wardrobe stock for his low-budget films off the record as a favor to him, since he could not afford her salary on his tiny budgets. In the case of this film, she advised Lyles that she would have her seamstresses in the wardrobe department who were not busy at the time make up new period clothing for Betty Hutton, since she already had Hutton's measurements from her heyday in Paramount films from the 1940s and early 1950s. These costumes were to keep the seamstresses busy during a lull in productions at Paramount and replace old wardrobe stock. That way Lyles would not be financially responsible for the new clothing items being made off the record for Hutton, who was to make her return to the screen with this western.
Featured review
Weak Western
A. C. Lyles made a number of low budget westerns @ Paramount with former stars like Dan Duryea, Rory Calhoun, Linda Darnell and Richard Arlen. Most are films you can sit through watch and they are neither good or bad. Red Tomahawk is an exception. It is bad. Where to start? The music. I do not expect Elmer Bernstein but give me a break. Bad music throughout the movie makes the film worse then it could have been. Then there are the ridiculous scenes such as Broderick Crawford in a buckboard outrunning Indians on horseback, and scenes with Star Howard Keel fighting Indians that anyone can see were faked. Did I forget not enough of love interest Joan Caufield? The best thing I can say is Keel and co-star Scott Brady do decent acting jobs. For them I give the film 2/10 stars.
