The title put me off, but then when I saw Senta Berger in it ... :-)
And it is astonishingly good. Tom Tryon was an excellent, convincing officer, and Slim Pickens an excellent first sergeant.
The love triangle reminded me of Thunder of Drums with George Hamilton, although this was more honorable. Senta's character obviously did not want to end up a farmer's wife.
James Caan certainly got a lot of screen time.
General McCabe would have been over-ranked. He would have been a full colonel at most.
But Army post life was well depicted as well as the hen party officers' wives, some of whom were to become widows.
As others have observed, excellent action scenes with the proper tactical doctrine shown for our troopers.
Indeed magnificent scenery.
