Leave your thoughts about Flaming Star.
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersThe filmmaking may be a little ramshackle, but it's sensitive, and the performances are soulful. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussA treasure trove of content for Presleyologists who interpret Elvis as a repository and reflector of America's conflicted and evolving attitudes toward youth, class, race and sex. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn emotionally charged liberal themed Western that keeps things rocking. |
| Filmcritic.comBlake French...proves that Elvis didn't just get lucky with his first performance; the boy could actually act. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumAmong the best Presley features; directed by Don Siegel. |
| User ReviewCarrie Gdefinitely one of the best elvis films. I like how his role was pretty serious and he wasn't playing a likely leading male character. For once he wasn't a race car driver, or a water ski instructor :P |
| User ReviewTracie SIt's Elvis...he's great in everything. |
| User ReviewSamantha CA good film one of my favs good acting from the man |
| User ReviewRick MSam Burton's second wife Neddy is Indian, their son Pacer a half-breed. As struggle starts between the whites and the Kiowas, the Burton family is split between loyalties. Neddy and Sam are killed; Pacer sides with the Indians, his half-brother Clint with the whites. One of Elvis' best movies and he did a great job of acting. |
| User ReviewDavid HGrandious Anti-Western made in Hollywood The Whites are Evil like in the DEFA Indian Westerns and Elvis is hillarious as Man between Two Fires Cinematography is excellent |
