Indians on the Rampage

So you think that an early scene in this movie, Buffalo Bill (1944) Twentieth Century Fox, with Indians burning a cabin, is actually taken from Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) Twentieth Century Fox?

That wouldn't surprise me, considering that the big battle scene in this movie, Buffalo Bill (1944) Twentieth Century Fox, was reused in Pony Soldier (1952) Twentieth Century Fox, The Siege at Red River (1954) Panoramic Productions, The Gun That Won the West (1955) Columbia, Pawnee (1957) Republic Pictures, and the "Massacre" episode of The Time Tunnel (1966-67) 20th Century Fox Television, if I remember correctly.

As I remember the "Massacre" episode of The Time Tunnel reused several scenes of Indians from earlier movies - some possibly from this movie - as well as a scene of cavalry marching from She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) Argosy Pictures, and the big battle scene from this movie, Buffalo Bill (1944) Twentieth Century Fox, as well as a scene of cavalry marching from a movie I didn't recognized and a scene of cavalry charging among saguaro cacti from a movie I didn't recognize.

I believe that it was quite common for movies and TV shows to use scenes from earlier movies and TV shows and there were companies that were more or less brokers for the reuse of movie scenes in new movies.

I just saw The Time Tunnel episode "Massacre" again 10-08-17 and at the end when they showed Reno's valley charge they used a clip of cavalry lined up among saguaro cacti from The Guns of Fort Petticoat, then a close shot of John Pickard, the actor who played Reno, drawing his saber, then another shot of the cavalry starting to charge from the Guns of Fort Petticoat, and then part of the big battle scene from Buffalo Bill (1944).

September 4 2018. When the Cheyenne go on the warpath in the first Cheyenne war in Buffalo Bill (1944) they attack camps of Western Union telegraph employees - one of the wagons is marked Western Union - and that scene should be from Western Union (1941) 20th century Fox.
