And hokum it is, pardner Pogue. It's all over the place - cowboys and indians, family bathos, etc. But, it does sort of make a plea for the indian, and it does show the rich white politic as pretty reprehensible. What the film has going for it is Wellman, McCrea and the astonishingly beautiful Linda Darnell as an indian (I believe she was barely sixteen when she made the film). Maureen O'Hara looks lovely, too, and a young Anthony Quinn is Bill's indian chum.
