This is the best Elvis movie I know and that is due to the fact that this is not a typical Elvis like movie. It is a straight western without any sing-sang (only once at the beginning but that happened in non-Elvis western, too). Not a very unique or original story but the usual for the time and genre. Unfortunately it wasn't a huge success because people wanted to see the singing Elvis and not one critisizing the exploitation of the natives. Plus this is a story of racism which, again, probably not a very popular topic in 1960. Althought not an Oscar performance Presley did OK and, who knows, maybe he could have become a much better actor had he not been forced to be just the poster boy for the typical, repeating movies he did.

Elvis in a dramatic role with no singing. strange for Elvis but surprisingly good. Elvis plays a man stuck between 2 worlds. Born from an Indian mother and white father during a war between the whites an indians. Serious movie and worth a watch even without the singing.
