Review of Don't Touch the White Woman! (1974) by Daniel J — 24 Jan 2009
A scathing mixed historical retelling of the American genocide and the Battle of Little Big Horn. Leave it to the French to point out that racism in America and manifest destiny all fell neatly between the lily thighs of white women - the title's admonishment is one of the supposed prime movers in Custer's Last Stand.
Much like Cox's WALKER, the timeline and modern tropes (namely the magnetic eyes of President Nixon) that intrude seem to justify the community theater re-enactment and staging. The "surrealism" feels a bit forced and the movie drags on with its few points (American Imperialism is arrogant and stupid, therefore easily defeated) made over and over again before we are rewarded with some gore effects and a very dusty fight.
The cast is great, if under used.
This movie made Noelle so mad she had to take a bath.
