Director Castle shines his swastika once again in making a chick flick that is nothing but depressing and hate filled as far as men are concerned.On the surface, it's an action movie about early American settlements. But the heavy handed propaganda of Castle just blots this out completely.It's a woman's world in Castle's world, where men shun beauties to court plain Jane blondes, and the entire story is so contrived to kill the brunette that only the Nazis can avoid being sickened. Had this been reversed, and women be forced to court blond men, they would scream bloody murder, but it's politically correct for them to force men to sit through their hellish propaganda.It's impossible to follow or understand the motivation of the hero, because it's written either by a woman or by a Nazi. It's obviously written for women.There's no incentive, and all we get is depressed.

Fort Ticonderoga or as it was originally known Fort Carillon when the French built was the focal point of a lot of military action in both the Seven Years War and the American Revolution. In fact this film is factually wrong on the face because it was Fort Carillon and became Ticonderoga only after Lord Jeffrey Amherst took it with the help of Roger's Rangers.A film about the military action would have been far more interesting than what we got here in Fort Ti. The action scenes are fine, but the writers stuck in a rather stupid love story involving George Montgomery and two women.Montgomery has other worries though. His sister and her two children have been taken by the French to insure that her husband James Seay does a good job spying for the French. While Amherst and Rogers are taking the strategic fort, Montgomery has to affect a rescue of captives including his sister and nephews. This film could have used A treatment and a kind of colonial Longest Day plot. For a B film it was nicely photographed and the battle scenes are good.But it could have been so much better.

I first saw Fort Ti as a kid at the local movie house during the 3D fad years. I thought it was great and memories of the movie stayed with me over the years. Some great action sequences that worked well with the 3D process, but did not seemed forced. I give director William Castle credit for weaving in the the action scenes better than some of the other directors handling the 3D process at the time. I disagree with other commentators, that there are no major stars in the film. George Montgomery was at the time a major actor in westerns and action films and would later star in his own television western series. Seeing the film in recent years on the Encore Western channel, I see a lot lacking in terms of the story and the acting I that missed as a youngster caught up in the 3D action, diving in my seat when a thrown tomahawk appeared to be flying off the screen

You'll have to dodge those arrows, spears and tomahawks, in this otherwise routine period piece, originaly filmed in 3D.
