Does anyone know about the 120 min edited version and what the differinces are? Why is it edited? What content was removed? What regions is it for? Was the rating changed? Is it the colorized version that was edited or is there also black and white prints that are the shorter time. Are there even film prints of the edited version or was that only for TV or video? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.228.220.209 (talk) 21:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Link To Westerns[edit]

Removed the link to Western film , first sentence , first paragraph . Westerns are considered to take place , generally speaking , in the latter half of the 19th century , ergo ca. 1850 onwards . Please see the article on the Western film genre . Whilst there are a few films depicting and set during the Battle of the Alamo ( 1836 ) , one can reasonably argue that this period should also fall outside the category of the Western film genre . It would be more appropiate to label / term films set before 1850 as " Frontier " simply because this term more aptly describes that particular era and genre . Also for consideration in removing the Western link to this film , see Across the Wide Missouri which is set in the same era , namely the 1830's and is also not referred to as a Western . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.92.72.214 (talk) 23:17, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1830s, not "1830's". Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 10:02, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Since there's no category or even an article on American frontier films, to distinguish them from Westerns, I think it'd be best to keep this film in the Western category for now. Note that even Northwest Passage is presently categorized as a 1940s Western film. — WFinch (talk) 15:12, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
