Future horror-film entrepreneur William Castle warmed the director's

chair for Fort Ti. Set in the 18th century, the film recounts the exploits of

Rogers' Rangers, a band of adventurers devoted to seeking out a

"northwest passage" through Canada. At this juncture, however, Major

Rogers (Howard Petrie) is more concerned with helping the British forces

at Fort Ticonderoga during a series of French and Indian raids. Top billing

is bestowed upon George Montgomery as Captain Pedediah Horn,

Rogers' right-hand man. The film boasts two leading ladies: Joan Vohs, as

a suspected French spy, and Phyllis Fowler as a married Indian woman

who falls in love with Captain Horn. Fort Ti was filmed in 3D, and in typical

William Castle fashion the stereoscopic gimmick is exploited to the hilt.
