Broken Arrow
Dir: Delmer Daves
1950
****
Okay, so some of the actors that played Native American's were actually white and the ideas of miscegenation were obviously frowned upon by the producers to the point were it was ok to say it was ok, without it actually being ok to happen. Show me a classic western that got it 100% right and I'll buy you a glass of Sarsaparilla. The intentions got through and were received loud and clear, how could it not be when spoken by James Stewart? I liked it very much, the ending is still as poignant as it was over 50 years ago, give me a Jimmy Stewart Western over a John Wayne any day of the week.
