Movie Reviews of Broken ArrowMovie Review: broken arrow Summary: 5 StarsThe acting in this movie is great. It tells a story of whites and idians and how they could get along. It is also a love story. James Stewat and Jeff Chandler are what really makes this movie. If you like classic westerns this is one that I think you will enjoy.
Summary of Broken ArrowBy 1870 there has been 10 years of cruel war between settlers and Cochise's Apaches. Ex-soldier Tom Jeffords saves the life of an Apache boy and starts to wonder if Indians are human after all; soon he determines to use this chance to make himself an ambassador. Against all odds his solitary mission into Cochise's stronghold opens a dialogue. Opportunely the president sends General Howard with orders to conclude peace. But even with Jeffords' luck the deep grievance and hatred on both sides make tragic failure all too likely...Run Time: 93 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/MISC. Rating: NR UPC: 024543436799 Manufacturer No: 2243679 Delmer Daves's movie about ex-army scout Tom Jeffords's one-man peace mission to the Apaches, and the diplomatic partnership he formed with Cochise, has a child's-storybook clarity to it. That applies to not only its lovely Technicolor compositions but also its scenario, characterizations, and still-arresting mix of violence and delicacy. Broken Arrow wasn't the first Western to express sympathy for the Indian side in the frontier wars (Devil's Doorway came out earlier in 1950 and filed a more scathing brief on the Indians' behalf), but it was Daves's picture that had a decisive impact on popular consciousness and effectively amended the ground rules of the genre. James Stewart's Jeffords may be less compelling than the troubled Westerners the star would soon be playing for Anthony Mann, but there's real tenderness and vulnerability in the performance. Jeff Chandler scored a supporting-actor Oscar? nomination for leavening the dignity of Cochise with sly humor. --Richard T. Jameson
