A pre-Revolutionary War frontier movie, when central Pennsylvania was still the frontier; this is a wonderful JOHN WAYNE adventure movie. The main problem is that lovely Claire Trevor wants John Wayne, but Wayne might just as soon keep his freedom. Problem #2 is that bad guys led by Brian Donlevy are into selling liquor and booze to the Indians while the Indians are at war with the settlers.
If you have a choice, see this movie colorized. RKO ought to have made it in color to begin with, but color films were few in 1939. The color is excellent. It enhances the Pennsylvania countryside, the British redcoats, etc. Not all colorizing is great, but this is A+.
Most films made in 2006 and 2007 will have a commercial life of maybe 6 to 9 months; to be forgotten forever. Nobody will be searching in 50 years for any of the junk in today's multiplex. Allegheny Uprising is just one of many films made in 1939 that have endured for 68 years. Released, re-released, re-released again. Then shown on TV, sold on VHS, on DVD. Quality endures, junk dies fast.
