this film be just silly and not worth your time . one of the big reason be the wretched decision to cast the 6 tall and blue gray eye burt lancaster a an american indian . unfortunately and this silly miscasting be common in the 30 50 and a the like of rock hudson and kent smith also play indian ( among many others ) . now if you can ignore the silly and racially insensitive casting and you still probably will hate the film because of the horrible writing . the story be supposedly about a real life indian ( massai ) and but the story bear little similarity to him . the big problem be that massai be a hero in the film and but accord to imdb he be not just a murderer but a rapist hardly the stuff of hero . also and the film end in the most ridiculous fashion . after massai shoot at least two of his people and only minute later and those try to subdue him just let him walk away yet he just kill two people . even if you be sympathetic to his cause and why not disarm him or at least give him a strong scolding for the killing . if you can ignore the dumb casting and dumb mi telling of massai life and dumb end and can you enjoy the rest of the film . well and no . you can not . that because it purport to be a romance between massai and nalinle and it about the least romantic pairing in film history . for his part and massai treat nalinle like dirt and she follow him like a whipped puppy . there be no love or chemistry . but to make it bad and i just wish the couple would have use a few pronoun . hear nalinle talk to massai and refer to him a massai ( never you or even he ) and it sound like a kid in a school play try to pretend ( unconvincingly ) that they be indian . dull and dumb hardly a glowing endorsement .
