Based on a screenplay by George W. George and Burt Kennedy, with black-and-white photography provided by William H.

Box office results, however, tended to be modest, thus reinforcing the notion that audiences were not likely to pay for at the theater what they could see at home for free. Fort Dobbs co-starred Virginia Mayo, Brian Keith, and Richard Eyer. A passing stranger who, after rescuing from peril a woman and her young son, escorts them to the presumed safety of a frontier fort. Despite various handicaps, romance between the stranger and the woman slowly blossoms along the way. LESS
