Summary:
In 1854, at Fort Val Verde, Texas, the U.S. Cavalry is experimenting the novel idea of using camels rather than horses as a means of transportation.
Disney movie about U.S. cavalrymen who are short on horses so they start riding camels. But how many movies feature Slim Pickens, Denver Pyle and Jack Elam? A cornucopia of coots. [18 Aug 2006, p.1]
Hawmps is a long march on light provisions. Based on a tiny historical curiosity—an experimental use of camels by the United States cavalry in Texas in the mid-19th century—it should have been a nice small movie. Instead it stretches into an underpopulated two hours and five minutes.
