Ulzana's Raid (18-Oct-1972)
Director: Robert Aldrich
REVIEWS Review by John Levin (posted on 20-Sep-2007) So often in the past we've heard and seen for ourselves the double injustice suffered by the American indian. John Ford who played no small part in perpetuating that injustice on film, finally relented late in his career and presented his apology in the form of Cheyenne Autumn. Too little too late.
Burt Lancaster, approaching 60, took what amounted to a supporting role in a film that very much succeeded where Mr Ford had failed.
Jorge Luke plays an indian scout for the US Army and Joaquin Martinez plays a Geronimo-type guerrilla fighter with much conviction.
Here for once indians are portrayed as being more than a match for the white man. This is a superior but necessarily violent film that I strongly recommend.
