5/5
BEST of ELvis honestly!
by Linda Early Kearney (Roanoke, Va)
This movie was the first in a long line of Elvis movies. I especially enjoyed the fact he wasn't ELVIS but an Indian playing a part of an inter racial marriage and the settling of the old west. I cried at the end. Too bad he never got to develop a true acting career instead of the singing, hip hopping movies he was famous for. If you want to see ELvis in a great movie, watch this one. It's wonderful!
3/5
With only one song , this movie is a disappointment?
by R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States)
This movie is an early one where Elvis actually does some real acting and it is a Cowboy and Indian and half-breed movie.
Texas has an Indian uprising in 1878 of his mother's people:
his white older half brother and his father make his family half native American and they are caught between.
Tragedy results with loss of friends and family.
As I love Elvis's singing I miss there not being more
music, but the script is a grim tale of a lot of death and sorrow.
5/5
Elvis' best performance
by Bill Haynes (MO, USA)
In a rare dramatic role, Elvis Presley showed what he was capable of doing as an actor. This was a western that explores prejudice and injustice as a family is torn apart by mixed feelings between the locals and the indians. Flaming Star is a powerful film that deals with racial issues in the old west. It's a shame that Elvis wasn't given more decent roles like that of Pacer.
4/5
Flaming Star with Elvis Presley
by M. C. Williams
This is a DVD that can be found with all the Elvis movies. I loved it, but then I loved most of his movies. Kinda dates me huh?
5/5
Flaming Elvis
by Plain Jane (Walterboro, SC)
I liked this story and I think Elvis fits the part of being an Indian very nicely. Elvis is a very skilled rider of horses as displayed in this movie. It dipects the prejudice we are too familiar with and I like Elvis coming to the rescue of the "underdog". A must for your Elvis collection.
Flaming Star Summary
West Texas In The Years After The Civil War Is An Uneasy Meeting Ground Of Two Cultures, One White. The Other Native American. Elvis Portrays Pacer Burton. The Son Of A White Rancher (john Mcintire) And His Beatiful Kiowa Indian Wife (dolores Delrio). When Fighting Breaks Out Between The Settlers And Natives, Pacer Tries To Act As A Peace Maker, But The "flaming Star Of Death" Pulls Him Irrevocably Into The Deadly Violence.
Definitely a contender for the underwhelming title of Best Elvis Movie, this handsomely shot Western actually makes Elvis act, rather than coast on his personality. (As though to underscore the point, the two obligatory songs are dispensed with under the opening credits and in the first scene.) Don Siegel was probably the best director the King ever worked with, and he draws a quietly smoldering performance from Elvis, who was still undeniably raw. Even better, Siegel captures an existential starkness to homestead and town, and calmly makes a pro-Native American case without preaching (Elvis plays a half-breed caught between sides in an Indian vs. settlers dustup). Yes, this was 30 years before
Dances with Wolves
--there were actually quite a few such movies during this era. All in all, a decent picture, and an indication of where Elvis's career might have gone if he hadn't given himself over to fluff.
--Robert Horton
