Good Times Video, 2001

Lovely

+ a great movie
+ I love this movie!

I was awaken to the music/soundtrack from this movie. I had never heard of Alex Cord until the music peaked my interest. This is a very well written narrative. The Depiction of the loving High Cheyenne Warrior towards the great elderly dying Cheyenne Indian chief, Running Wolf, was very touching. ...

Apache
Burt Lancaster, Jean Peters

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

ENTERTAINMENT AND SAGA ROLLED INTO ONE

+ Hollywood and History Collide
+ Thoughtful Lancaster Western

I have seen this film since it was first released and now also own a DVD of it too. I have always viewed the movie as first class entertainment and never as a historical documentary. I feel many people go astray when viewing anything as one thing when in actuality it is entirely a different ...

Tecumseh:The Last Warrior
Jeri Arredondo, Lawrence Bayne

Turner Home Entertainment, 1995

Tecumseh: The Last Warrior

+ Tecumseh was a man.
+ Indian Wars of the Old Northwest

As an educator, I strongly recommed the film Tecumseh: The Last Warrior because it is one of its kind in bringing into action the cultural beliefs and way of life of Native American groups such as the Shawnee, who were affected by the clash of cultures and seizure of their ancestoral lands by ...
  
  











  



  
Sitting Bull
Dale Robertson, Mary Murphy

United Home, 1996

historical and entertaining

This was probably one of the better videos recounting the battle of the little big horn. Only the men involved in this historical event know for sure what happened, but this seems as close as any video I've seen, compared to what has been written. Dale Robertson did a magnificent job in his role ...

Goodtimes Home Video, 1998

Enigmatic and Noble Western

+ RUNNING OUT OF SOUVENIRS
+ Excellent Western

1969's TELL THEM WILLIE BOY IS HERE is a forgotten but great film. Robert Blake is excellent as the Paiute Indian, Willie Boy, who is the object of a manhunt for a killing he committed in self-defense. The press gets hold of the story and turns it around into an Indian upraising circa 1909. ...
