The Great Sioux Uprising is a 1953 American Western film directed by Lloyd Bacon and starring Jeff Chandler, Faith Domergue and Lyle Bettger.
During the Civil War, in Wyoming, horse dealers Joan Britton ( Faith Domergue) and Stephen Cook ( Lyle Bettger) are competing to supply the Union Army with horses. A Cherokee, Stan Watie, is in the area to stir up the Sioux against the Union just as Cook decides to steal a herd of Sioux horses. Ex-army doctor Jonathan Westgate ( Jeff Chandler) opposes Cook's unscrupulous methods as well as being Cook's rival for the affections of Joan. It seems Westgate is the only one able to prevent a new Indian war.
In 1952 Jeff Chandler signed a new contract with Universal which doubled his salary. The Great Sioux Uprising was the first film under the new agreement. [2] Alexis Smith and Stephen McNally were meant to co star with Chandler. [3] Eventually Smith was replaced by Faith Domergue. [4] McNally's wife then fell ill and he asked to withdraw from the film; he was replaced by Lyle Bettger. [5] Filming took place in Portland and Pendleton, Oregon. [6]
