Lisa's Picks
A
Across the Wide Missouri -
Stars Clark Gable and Ricardo Montalban as a pair of trappers. Gable, the good guy, marries an Indian princess while Montalban causes trouble.
A Man Called Horse - 1970
Richard Harris stars as an English man captured by the Sioux in the 1800s. Things are not "all peace and harmony" - there is violence and blood - but there is also understanding.
Along the Navajo Trail - 1945
Roy Rogers stars as a US Marshall who is trying to figure out what happened to a government agent. Oddly enough, despite the name there are NO indians of any sort in this film - it's all about local ranchers and Spanish "gypsies" in wooden wagons.
Apache - 1954
Massai - an Apache loner - is played by Burt Lancaster. When he refuses to surrender with Geronimo, he is sent to Florida but takes off on his own.
