a5c7b9f00b During the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant, the full-blooded Native American US Army Cavalry officer, Captain Apache, finds himself entangled in a well-planned conspiracy, while on a mission to investigate the death of the Indian Commissioner, Harry Collier. With his sole clue being the victim&#39;s cryptic dying words, &quot;April Morning&quot;, Captain Apache will soon cross paths with the tough arms-runner, Griffin,everyone around him who knows something about the puzzling case, eventually, ends up murdered. Is there an intricate plot and an even greater scheme of corruption behind those hideous killings? As the bullets start flying, the inquisitive Captain will shortly find out how deep the conspiracy goes. A Native American born US Army officer, Captain Apache, investigating a murder, uncovers a presidential assassination plot. just watched on talking pictures. its not a masterpiece but that doesn&#39;t matter. its a spag western from seventies that will take you on captain apatches investigations into….. no spoilers… but it has charm and all the scenes work (as longyou don&#39;t try to hard to get a grip of any plot). Lee Van is an Indian captain dude in a very 70s way and lol it worked for me. A MUST Watch for fans of lee. A gem! This is a bizarre comic western, also knownDEATHWORK and THE GUNS OF APRIL MORNING. It&#39;s a UK/Spanish co-production that sees Lee Van Cleef - at the peak of his fame - playing the world&#39;s unlikeliest Native American, whose nickname here is &quot;Red Ass&quot; judging by the number of times people call him it. The narrative is a mystery yarn in which the Van Cleef character attempts to discover the meaning of the phrase &quot;April morning&quot;.<br/><br/>It&#39;s an odd film indeed, one in which the tone is all over the place. You can tell it&#39;s a comedy more from the over-the-top nature of the camera shots and the one-liners than a genuinely funny atmosphere, but the whole thing is just too ridiculous to take seriously. I felt embarrassed for Van Cleef in his cast-against-type role and the production values are just sloppy, with US TV director Alexander Singer out of his depth and lacking the style of your typical spaghetti western filmmaker.<br/><br/>The cast is undoubtedly the most interesting about this film; it includes Hollywood-star-turned-giallo-actress Carroll Bakera femme fatale whose appeal is stolen by the lovely Elisa Montes, and Britain&#39;s own Percy Herberta heavy. Stuart Whitman bags a large supporting rolean ally whose motivations are decidedly murky. CAPTAIN APACHE features some adequate action sequences to prop up the flagging narrative but it&#39;s a definite miss, unfortunately.
