The Sergeant
In this Western, the sergeant takes his commander’s daughter on a horseback ride along the Merced River (which actually might be Oregon's Clackamas River). When their horses are stolen by a renegade, they are forced to travel back to headquarters by foot and lose the trail. In the first clip, mounted troops search for the lost couple. The two are found the next day and the sergeant is disgraced. However, the sergeant proves his mettle when he escapes during an Indian attack and leads reinforcements to the rescue. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with National Film Preservation Foundation New Zealand Project in 2012.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This is cinema with character. It doesn't try to please everyone at once — it has its own position, its own intonation.
The film is honest with its audience. Doesn't promise more than it delivers — and that itself has value.
For those who find pleasure in details, not just in plot turns.
Director: Francis Boggs

Viewing atmosphere: With someone close, when there's time and mood. Not as background — it asks for attention.
