  Filmtracks: The Return of a Man Called Horse (Laurence Rosenthal)
The sequel, The Return of a Man Called Horse, was, through the involvement of Kershner and his associates, a significantly more sensitive and realistic portrayal of Native American culture on the big screen.
After The Return of a Man Called Horse, which even Rosenthal agrees to being one of his finest compositions, both Meteor and Clash of the Titans (despite the shortcomings of their films) would continue to interest film score enthusiasts.
For The Return of a Man Called Horse specifically, Rosenthal would have the opportunity to infuse a classical, European sound (from the perspective of the title character) into an ethnically rich canvas inspired by the Sioux tribes.

American Indians were a "cool" factor in 1970 cinema, the year A Man Called Horse made its vigorous, feverishly real, and occasionally shocking debut alongside Little Big Man and Soldier Blue.
Horse looks clunky, quaint, and inadvertently demeaning in some respects today, but the film's Native American milieu is at least defined on its own terms, i.e., whole cloth and apart from familiar Western conventions.
