1957: "Run of the arrow" a great movie
“Run of the arrow” is not your typical western. It’s the story of a bitter Confederate veteran who joins a Sioux tribe to keep his war against the Union going.
This is from the TCM summary:
A revisionist Western that makes complex statements about the nature of race, identity, and loyalty, Run of the Arrow (1957) is a key film in the oeuvre of renegade director Samuel Fuller. Though Fuller was often criticized for lacking a social conscience – his taste for lurid pulp fiction usually excluded it – this picture paints as open-minded an image of the American Indian as you’re likely to find in 1950s cinema.
The main character, played by Rod Steiger, actually sides with the Indians for the better part of the film, a stance that runs decidedly counter to what John Wayne and his ilk had been doing for the previous 20 years.
Steiger plays Pvt. O’Meara, a Confederate soldier who fires what turns out to be the final shot of the Civil War. A Union lieutenant named Driscoll (Ralph Meeker) is on the receiving end of the bullet, but he recovers from his wound.
Unwilling to accept the “death” of his beloved South once the peace treaty is signed at Appomattox, O’Meara heads West. There, after establishing his worthiness through an endurance test known as “the run of the arrow,” he joins a Sioux Indian tribe. Eventually, he falls in love with a beautiful maiden named Yellow Moccasin, played by Sarita Montiel, whose voice was dubbed by RKO contract player Angie Dickinson!
It’s a neat story and worth watching. By the way, Sarita Montiel from Spain was a very popular actress and singer in the Spanish speaking world.
