Review of Run of the Arrow (1957) by Keith T — 14 Jun 2008
This excellent film surfaced in BBC 4's current "Western Weekend". I can't remember even seeing it before (and I've seen quite a few!).
Rod Steiger's former Conferederate soldier who decides he'd rather live with the Sioux than in the United States makes for an intriguing character. I had no idea Charles Bronson was making movies in 1957 until I heard his Indian Chief character speak and thought "wait a minute, isn't that Charles Bronson"!
The the second part of the story seems to have elements of the 1866 Fetterman Massacre, but perhaps I'm putting 2 & 2 together and making 5 there.
