A Disappointing Continuation
Marlburian
"Fort Ti" starts off well enough, with an interesting plot, which then starts to fall to pieces, with some unconvincing elements. The main female lead, Fortune Mallory, retains her glamour and an ornate hair-style despite her privations, the Rangers twice attack the French without the latter noticing their quite visible approach until the last moment, and there's some very rapid reloading of muskets off-screen during the short siege of the cave.There's also an unnecessary three-cornered romance.The version I saw, courtesy of Youtube, had some poor editing mid- film, with a couple of sudden leaps; this may have been due to whoever posted it messing around a bit.In quality, well behind other films portraying the same period that come to mind: "North West Passage", "Drums along the Mohawk" and two versions of "Last of the Mohicans". But a bit better than "Mohawk".

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.

This could be a typical B George Montgomery western , but it is an eastern instead, also it has the lovely presence of Joan Vohns, quite a beauty, a shame that she did not go too far in her movie career.I was expecting this film to give us a view of Fort Ti, which I was imagining to look like so many of the western forts, but instead when we have a brief view, it looks like a group of English houses. Looking on Wikipedia I realized it really looks like this. The action takes place during the fight of the French against the English in colonial times, with the Indians being on the side of the French. There is quite a love triangle, between Montgomery, Joan Vohns, and Phillys Fowler as Running Otter, who married an older man, but can't conceal her love of Montgomery. The love scenes of Montgomery and Joan Vohns are quite sexy, unusual for this type of film. The story is a bit too rich for the length of the film and the feeling is that everything is shown too briefly.

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