Broken Arrow (1950)


Meh. Broken Arrow is, like, fine, but it's full colonialist fantasy. Good white man learns that Chiricahua Apaches are humans. Congratulations.

The movie itself is well shot, but the script is drivel even if it is well intentioned. And James Stewart doesn't work for me as a cowboy. I just don't like him in westerns. I can only see him as a city boy.

I guess this is the second Delmer Daves western in a month or so that I have thought was just not that great. Sorry about it Delmer Daves, but I'm just not here for it.
