  Soldier Blue
Soldier Blue is a forgotten film about the Western battles between whites and Indians in the West in the 1860s.
Soldier Blue obviously features a much less important star, Candice Bergen, as opposed to Dustin Hoffman in Little Big Man. The greatest difference between the two films lies in the comparative sophistication of their points of view.
The white soldiers are shown chopping off the heads of Indian women on camera, ripping off all their clothing and raping them, and mutilating their bodies by cutting off their breasts with knives.

Probably as a consequence of the film being made in 1970, Soldier Blue depicts the consequences of battle - both for the innocent and those directly related to war.
Soldier Blue is a brilliant piece of work, in that it puts your feet on the ground, right there in the movie and you have to be morally bankrupt not to recognize that this is the truth and we should be ashamed.
The survivors of the massacre are one naive boy soldier and a savvy, young frontier woman, played superbly by Peter Strauss, and Candice Bergen respectively.

Released in the late summer of 1970, SOLDIER BLUE concerns itself with a disenfranchised U.S. cavalry officer (Peter Strauss), the only survivor of a savage attack on an Army payroll train by Cheyenne Indians in Colorado, who falls in love with a white woman (Candace Bergen) who had been raised by the Cheyenne.
SOLDIER BLUE, directed by Ralph Nelson (CHARLY, LILIES OF THE FIELD), is unique because it was the first western of its kind to really paint the Army as inherently evil.
The video release of SOLDIER BLUE, however, is in a severely cut form at the moment, allowing for the 'PG' rating.

I dunno if it will be the case with Soldier blue but I've found that the beeb often tend to show films with horsefalls intact; either way the rape of the Indian girl will be clumsily cut as per usual [and as per the bbfc approved version].

Like the original Dawn of the Dead, I’m sure that this viewing of Soldier Blue was just another case of, I have seen it, but in a heavily cut version, plus perhaps I’ve changed a lot in myself as far as my reaction to the film is concerned.
It has great music, incredible performances: it was released in the same year as one of my all-time favourites The Strawberry Statement and I found it to be very similar in tone, not to mention that they both feature songs by Buffy Sainte-Marie, whose work I should really seek out more of.
It begins with violence, then settles into a kind of cross-country jaunt, with the main character Honus (“Soldier Blue”) resisting the horny charms of Cresta, a relationship that reminded me a lot of the main relationship in Cabaret, Honus acting almost like he’s gay or something when Cresta so much as touches him.

I have just watched Soldier Blue on a DVD and it is of fantastic quality.
I had viewed a video of the film, that I think was made in the 1980's but the wide screen version on DVD creates all the atmosphere that one would expect from superior quality.
I take serious exception to what must be a very prejudiced individual, for their review saying that the Indians committed atrocities too.

Comment: Candice Bergen once said that Soldier Blue was her worst film.
But, criticised as it is, Soldier Blue effectively weaves from adventure to romance to horror without ever losing the power to entertain, to shock, to make you feel and to leave you thinking.
This notoriously violent 'western' comes to DVD at last in a beautiful 2.35:1 presentation but lamentably (and strangely - considering the now emphasis on film restoration) is still missing the 'rape scene' in which an Indian woman has her breast cut off (included in the original Magnetic Video VHS release).

 soldier blue - review at videovista
The high camp role-reversal (she's the toughie, he's the simpering wreck) of the burgeoning romance between Cresta and Grant is only one part of the movie, and it softens viewers up for the later, sheer bloody viciousness of a climactic slaughter.
Like Grant, we are appalled at the illegal action of the soldiers as they brutally rape, mutilate, stab, decapitate, and shoot the women and children of an indian village, before burning it to the ground.
The historical events enacted in Soldier Blue have long since been rightly described as one of the darkest episodes in American history.

Bergen is the woman kidnapped by Indians and Strauss the US soldier trekking through the desert with her to try to reach an army outpost.
Based on the real life Sand Creek Massacre, at which hundreds of Indians, including children, were wiped out, Soldier Blue certainly has its heart in the right place.
However, the developing romance between Bergen and Strauss quickly turns stale, and the portrayal of the final massacre is done without the subtlety or insight it deserves.
