Leave your thoughts about Run of the Arrow.
| The Retro SetNathanael HoodIn a sense, it's an anti-assimilation narrative. |
| User ReviewGarrett CExcellent film that ponders the struggle for identity. Steiger's character must choose between accepting the United States as his home after the South loses or trying to be a true Sioux. The film is complex and nuanced but lands on the position that one must be true to your roots. Steiger's performance is superb as usual and the cinematography featuring the on-location Utah landscape in Technicolor is beautiful |
| User ReviewPaul DInteresting film, but I hated the ending. |
| User ReviewKeith TThis excellent film surfaced in BBC 4's current "Western Weekend". I can't remember even seeing it before (and I've seen quite a few!). Rod Steiger's former Conferederate soldier who decides he'd rather live with the Sioux than in the United States makes for an intriguing character. I had no idea Charles Bronson was making movies in 1957 until I heard his Indian Chief character speak and thought "wait a minute, isn't that Charles Bronson"! The the second part of the story seems to have elements of the 1866 Fetterman Massacre, but perhaps I'm putting 2 & 2 together and making 5 there. |
| User ReviewGreg BOnly Sam Fuller couls deliver a Western like this and leave you entertained Fuller had Been in the Press, and had fought in World War 2. His movies have a tough rough edge which gives them a distinctive Fuller Stamp. Here Rod Steiger plays a southern Renegade who feels he is more at home with Sioux indians rather than the United States.# When he is given the task of escorting a group of calvalry ,including the bad guy he shot (Ralph Meeker) he is forced to make some tough choices . Fuller shows us a side of Indians hardly seen in westerns of this period and Meeker is great as A hissable villian. Fullers films always keep you entertained and this one is no exception |
| User ReviewCody CMaaaaaaaaaaaaad goooooooooood. One of my favorite westerns, instantly. Which makes sense because Fuller is the man. A must-see. |
| User ReviewM SBest Civil War/American Indian period flick I've seen. Sam Fuller is one honest dude, no matter what. Rod Steiger was good as was Brian Keith (believe it or not). Clever dialogue. |
| User ReviewJohn YInteresting film, but I hated the ending. |
| User ReviewStella Das bold and progressive a western as one would expect from fuller, in spite of that most misguided of method actors, rod steiger, and his godawful 'irish' accent. more than 30 years before 'dances with wolves' and much better, even with charles bronson as a sioux chief named blue buffalo. love. hate. action. violence. death. in one word...emotion |
| User ReviewMark DRod Steiger gives a devoted performance as a proud Irish Virginian who, following the Confederacy's surrender of the Civil War, bitterly abandons his home and ventures west to eventually be taken into the Sioux tribe. When the Yankees make their way west to build forts and roads, war ensues, forcing Steiger to question his allegiances. The portrayal of the Sioux can only be described as unconvincing in this movie, played by non-Native American actors speaking in perfect English. Charles Bronson is about the most ill-fitted actor to play a tribal chief as you can imagine, and if casting Sara Montiel as Steiger's Sioux wife wasn't enough, they had Angie Dickinson dub the dialogue so that her diction would be crystal clear. More attention to ethnic detail would have served this story well. |
