Captain Apache is the story of an Apache Indian (Lee Van Cleef) who is a captain in the Union Army hired to find the man responsible for the killing of an Indian commissioner. He fights his way from town to town in Arizona and Mexico trying to find the meaning of "April morning", the last words of the murdered man. All roads lead to Griffin(Stuart Whitman), a wealthy and mysterious gun smuggler. The Captain gets to know Griffin,but remains suspicious as to whether he is friend or foe. As he gets closer to finding out the meaning of "April morning", he smells a conspiracy as all those so eager to give him answers start getting killed. With April fast approaching, he is running out of time.
This unique and fun Spaghetti Western is full of smart (albeit cheesy)dialogue, great action, and a groovy 60's soundtrack to boot. Memorable scenes include a shootout in a Mexican saloon overtaken by a witch, and the Captain's drug induced trip through old west ruins. Also worthy of mention is that two songs in the film are belted out by Mr. Lee Van Cleef, himself. Fans of this genre will find this one to be a real treat worthy of watching once or again and again.
