	Film History of the 1950s
		The film was noted for one line of dialogue, typifying his attitude: "What are you rebelling against?" Brando's reply: "Whadda ya got?" A nasty Lee Marvin led a rival gang of bikers named The Beetles.
		By the 70s, his film roles had deteriorated, and although he returned to stage performances and revived his singing career, he was physically on the decline until his death in August, 1977 of heart disease and drug abuse.
		Film attendance declined precipitously as free TV viewing (and the increase in popularity of foreign-language films) made inroads into the entertainment business.

	CNN - Cold War Experience: Culture
		The last moderately pro-Russian film of the 1940s, "Berlin Express" (1948), centered on a Frenchman, an Englishman, an American, and a Soviet officer uniting to protect a democratic German politician from neo-Nazi conspirators, and concluded with an edgily amicable parting beside the Brandenburg Gate.
		"Broken Arrow" (1950), scripted under a pseudonym by the fllisted Albert Maltz, used the reconciliation between Apaches and white settlers to plead for peaceful coexistence.
		In the latter, a deranged cold warrior in command of an American air force base unleashes a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the Soviet Union and the U.S. president is forced to contact his Soviet opposite number on the Moscow hot line and discuss ways of averting imminent Armageddon.

	Thrilling Days of Yesteryear : "Nostalgia isn't what it used to be." -- Peter DeVries
		I purchased a fifth disc, the 1950 Jimmy Stewart western Broken Arrow (1950), and when said DVD arrived in my mailbox sometime back I opened it up to discover that what I now had in my possession was a copy of the 1996 movie starring John Travolta and Christian Slater.
		Broken Arrow was advertised as the first Hollywood film to portray Indians in a more enlightened and sympathetic light (a slight exaggeration, to be sure), and while it did smashing box-office for 20th Century-Fox at the time it’s since come under a great deal of castigation for historical inaccuracy.
		Arrow led to a TV adaptation in 1956, with John Lupton as Jeffords and Michael Ansara as Cochise.

		The only other point of agreement might be their inversion of the reactionary values of their respective genres--Daves' film is a triumph of didactic liberalism, while the new Broken Arrow, a brutal "technothriller," undermines the format of the contemporary action movie.
		Broken Arrow is here a code term for a lost nuclear weapon.
		Broken Arrow is especially amenable to this interest; assuming that the psych-profiling techniques of the U.S. military are all they're cracked up to be, stealth-bomber pilots probably are all alike.

	Review - Broken Arrow
		Broken Arrow (1950) was one of the first Hollywood films to preach for an accord between Native American and the white civilization.
		Directed by Delmer Daves, Broken Arrow is a rather authentic study of Apache chief, Cochise, featuring good action sequences.
		Broken Arrow was part of a brief cycle in Hollywood that reflected liberal politics in the attitudes of white America toward the Indians.

	Film History of the 1950s
		Another definitive film noir was Fritz Lang's The Big Heat (1953) - it was an example of a sub-genre of criminal/gangster-syndicate films, along with Joseph H. Lewis' The Big Combo (1955), Phil Karlson's The Brothers Rico (1957), and Burt Balaban and Stuart Rosenberg's CinemaScope Murder, Inc. (1960).
		The constraints of the system were increasingly criticized by the mid-1950s, because filmmakers were forced to make changes in their films in order to qualify for a seal of approval, but some filmmakers were willing to take risks.
		Yet the film, along with Preminger's challenges and other lessening of restrictions on film-makers in 1956, was instrumental in breaking the back of the Production Code and bringing in a new era of frank Hollywood movie-making.

		The film has been unfairly criticized because the leading Indians were played by whites, while only the extras were authentic Native Americans and that Chandler's Cochise was merely an Uncle Tom figure.
		I found the later criticism offensive, since this film probably had a greater affect in reducing racial tensions in the country then, perhaps, any other film at the time.
		The film worked despite its many flaws including its contrived killing off of Stewart's wife, which seems to have been done to please the racists and the censors because a mixed marriage was still socially unacceptable at the time.

	Broken Arrow
		Broken Arrow tells the Hollywood-ized story of Cochise and the Apaches making peace with the white man. Although they did not yet have the "courage" to hire Indian actors, Broken Arrow is one of the earliest examples of Hollywood portraying Indians in a positive light.
		While each film is satisfying, Broken Arrow manages to convey the same emotions and message in nearly half the time.
		Personally I don't believe Dances With Wolves to be a particularly indulgent film, but the time difference does speak volumes to the way in which script writing has gotten much looser while, ironically, our attention spans have gotten shorter.

	Broken Arrow Film Review - Time Out Film
		The Western that launched the be-nice-to-the-Indian cycle of the '50s now looks a little on the self-consciously liberal side, making something of a meal of its plea for racial tolerance and peaceful coexistence, as Stewart's army scout and Chandler's Cochise strive to bring peace to the Apache.
		A little awkward, too, in its bows to convention while trying to present an authentic picture of the Indian way of life (lots of Apache extras, but the leads are played by white actors; the Apache language rendered into 'poetic' English).
		A fine film all the same, despite the compromised ending, quite beautifully shot by Ernest Palmer.

		The painstakingly PC film, which took several years to complete, features the Native American language (with subtitles in English) and paints a respectful portrait the Indians’ harmonious coexistence with Nature.
		Though the pacing and structure hearkened back to the classics of the 1940s, the film’s strong female character––a working woman who’s not a saloon hall girl but a nurse––illustrates a change in the consciousness of the Western in the 21st century.
		A big budget HBO film directed by Bruce Beresford premiering in September focuses on the Mexican outlaw hero Pancho Villa and the true story of Hollywood’s attempt to turn him into a movie star in 1914, when D.W. Griffith’s production company paid Villa $25,000 for the rights to film one of his battles.

		Along with the lesser known ”Devils Doorway” (Anthony Mann, 1950), ”Broken Arrow” was the first film to treat Indians in a serious manner.
		Prior to these films, Indians were reduced to prop-status, posing dangers for stagecoaches and farmers, but with “Broken Arrow”, the Indians were shown as a people with problems, with traditions and with a heart – and mind.
		As the war between the white man and the Apaches now is running on its tenth year, Jeffords believes that he can make peace by creating a dialogue between the two sides, thus learns the speak Apache and goes to meet their leader, Cochise (Jeff Chandler).
