i just watch this movie and by mistake . what a little gem . this film make in 1956 look and and feel and like a late seventy movie . and be in fact well and more restrained and correct than and say and blue soldier . the environmental and anthropological undertone be way ahead of it time . the understated cinematography be superb and terribly realistic . much more than dance with wolf and the last hunt manages to convey the look and feel of the buffalo kill field of the late 1800s . probably because those in the movie be real kill field . the movie be shoot during legal forestry direct buffalo cull and so the animal you see be really be shoot and the bone be real . in conclusion and a very under rat western masterpiece and superbly act and direct and shot .
