It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Recently, I saw an Off Broadway production of the 1969 Tony nominated play "Indians", an analogy of what was going on at the time in the Vietnam War and the white man's involvement in the displacement of natives and the unkept promises by the government in protecting them. It is ironic that a week later that I pulled out this film from a box set of public domain westerns and found a plot line similar, although this incident took place some 30 years ago. But the basic story is still the same, one culture's inhumanity towards another, and one decent white man's efforts to right the wrong perpetuated by his own people. While the natives are presented fairly for a change for the most part, there's still the nagging feeling that the writers had to include a few savage references simply for shock value, and some of those moments are cringe worthy.This film starts off with President Abraham Lincoln creating a treaty with the Acoma tribe and the betrayal of that treaty after Lincoln's assassination. Chief Ted de Corsia vows vengeance, and Lew Ayres, an army officer who witnessed the treaty being agreed upon, decides to fight for the rights of the natives, even after de Corsia murders the colonel who stopped them from rightfully claiming what was theirs. But first, he must bring de Corsia and the others to justice, along with prejudiced judge Lloyd Corrigan. Walter Greaza and Raymond Burr represent the cruel white men whose ambition it seems was not only settling the land but destroying human beings they cruelly treated like savages. Certainly, the natives seek revenge, but it's not difficult to understand why they did what they felt they had to do. When they do, you can guarantee that those who feel their wrath won't get a painless death.It's nice to see a western where more than just one side is presented, even if much of it seems fictional. Hans Conreid, of all people, is Abraham Lincoln here, and is completely unrecognizable, no traces of Dr. T or his vast array of oddball characters. There are moments that will make you cringe at the cruelties of the white men, particularly when one of Ayres' men takes it upon himself to kill a young native boy right in front of his brother. This leads the surviving son of chief de Corsia to discover early in life the meantime if true hatred, intending to venge his brother's death just like his father would There's little unnecessary comedy relief here (even with the presence of Andy Devine who has one rather offensive quip), and the presence of Marilyn Maxwell as a traveling actress seems superfluous, even if she is accompanied by the lovable character actress Verna Felton. This is a nice attempt to present natives beyond the usual stereotypes even though it's obvious that important facts have been altered or changed to make this cinematic.

Old school western has peace with an Indian tribe collapsing after the death of President Lincoln. An evil colonel and inspector run roughshod over the native population. A captain, who was decorated by Lincoln for keeping the peace tries to keep things calm however war flares which put everyone in danger.Okay western is very much run of the mill. Its nothing you haven't seen before, especially if you're a fan of the genre. certainly its done well but at the same time the sense of having been here before makes everything seem less than it is. I liked it but at the same time I don't think I'll ever see it again, or really even remember it.

"New Mexico" is a fair cavalry-versus-Indians movie that could have been better. It has a good cast and provides a couple good moments, but a routine script and a rather stereotyped set of characters keep it from realizing its potential.Lew Ayres, a fine actor, has the lead role of the cavalry's Captain Hunt, and the rest of a good cast is highlighted by Andy Devine, Raymond Burr, Marilyn Maxwell, and Ted De Corsia. Unfortunately, most of their characters are not given much depth, and they do not have much dialogue to work with either.The lack of depth of Captain Hunt is the most important, as the other characters are primarily defined in terms of their relationship with him. At the beginning, he seems to be developing as an interesting character. He is present at a meeting between President Lincoln and Chief Acoma (De Corsia), and seems to be sympathetic with the problems that Acoma's people face after Lincoln's untimely death, even defying for a while his insensitive and boorish military superiors. But when the inevitable conflict breaks out, Ayres is just given some stereotyped lines about how the Indians ought not to resort to violence. Likewise, Acoma, as the leader of the uprising, is a thoroughly conventional character, although at least portrayed with some degree of sympathy.There are some decent action sequences, and a couple of creative touches in the battle scenes, but it is likely that "New Mexico" will be of interest mainly to those who enjoy any and all Westerns.

The great cast here, including Ayers, Maxwell, Divine, and Conried cannot save this predictable and routine Western effort. All the stereo-types are here, the fallen woman, the honor-bound Cavalry Captain and comic relief, but none of it seems to work well. The ending attempts to be different, but by that time the viewer could not care less.
