*Only the Valiant* is a last-stand cavalry Western where a divided group of soldiers must hold off a relentless enemy. The premise is strong, and Peck delivers a solid performance, with the black-and-white cinematography complementing the film’s darker tone. However, it never fully capitalizes on its potential, resulting in a Western that feels more serviceable than memorable.
