Duel at Diablo. 1966. USA. Directed by Ralph Nelson. Screenplay by Marvin H. Albert, Michel M. Grilikhes, based on the novel by Marvin H. Albert. With Sidney Poitier, James Garner, Bibi Andersson. 35mm. 103 min.

Lieutenant McAllister’s mission is to move a convoy of munitions wagons from one fort to another, traversing hostile Apache lands. With a depleted cadre of soldiers, only the newbies are left to act as guards along the way, and they aren’t much good at holding back any aggressors. The party includes a seasoned scout named Remsberg who is looking for a white woman who has been captured by the Apache—but once she’s released, she voluntarily returns to the tribe.

This film accompanies Modern Matinees: Sir Sidney Poitier.
