Paralleling the Indian lovers are a pair of whites: the local sheriff, who resembles Willie in many ways and admires him very much; and an Eastern-bred (B. Radcliffe, etc.) woman doctor, overseer of the reserva- tion, whose favorite is Willie's girl.
Their envy of the Indians' love, which they do not share, is perhaps the deciding reason they refuse to allow them to escape, though eventually matters get out of even their hands.
The Robert Redford and Susan Clark arrange a tryst in,"Willie Boy." assassination of McKinley just eight years earlier has prompted special security arrangements, which, coupled with vague re- ports of the Willie Boy incident, give rise to wild rumors of an Indian uprising.

Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here Film Review - Time Out Film
The allegory about witch-hunting is there for the asking, taken a stage further than usual in the bitter irony whereby the hitherto Americanised Willie, accused in effect of being an Indian, gradually reverts to being an Indian in the archetypally savage sense.
A powerful film, even though the script wears its liberal conscience on its sleeve (and further hedges its bets by casting nice Robert Redford as the sheriff), directed with austere authority in desert landcapes marvellously shot by Conrad Hall.

HONORING ABRAHAM POLONSKY Within a few years of scripting BODY AND SOUL and directing FORCE OF EVIL, this powerful chronicler of corruption--social and economic--was fllisted by HUAC, and Polonsky did not work under his own name until he directed TELL THEM WILLIE BOY IS HERE in 1969, almost two decades later.
The film kids Garfield's tough-guy image, with Dinah Shore testifying that he's "the sweetest, mildest, gentlest boy you'd ever want to meet in the whole world," even as, offstage, he is seen roughing up poor Eddie Cantor.
The script is redolent of Hemingway and French existentialism (Huston had recently staged the first U.S. production of No Exit), and the horrific ironies of the revolutionaries' actions give full play to the director's absurdist vision: the movie ended up being denounced by both the Right and the Left.
