Movie Reviews of Flaming Star
Movie Review: Flaming Star
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of Elvis's best movies. A movie the whole family can enjoy on a Saturday night.Movie Review: Flaming Star Shines
Summary: 4 Stars
I have always had a fondness for "Flaming Star" since I was a kid. It is a film that gave Elvis some meat to chew into and I feel he shows his acting ability very well. Elvis actually had some indian blood in his veins,Blackfoot on his mother's side. I no doubt feel that Elvis looked deep within himslef and his role with dignity and passion to give us a very memorable performance. Elvis' favorite film as well as the critics is 1958's "King Creole" - however Elvis does a fine job in this adventure that has some great actors/actresses that are on this production. Dolores Del Rio and John McIntire are believable are Pacer's (Elvis) parents and Barbara Eden in a early role is The King's love interest. If I were to own only 5 film performances of Elvis' "Flaming Star" would be one. I am so glad that the film has made it to DVD and I know you will enjoy Elvis in the fine Western.Movie Review: A Classic
Summary: 4 Stars
What a first class film. After the worrying opening sequence with Elvis singing " A Cane & A High Starched Collar" with one chaps dancing partner being a chair, we open up to a classic Western. With excellent picture quality, Elvis' performance is totally believable as a man torn between two sides. Only criticism is the huge amount of wasted space on the DVD which could have a least have had a documentary perhaps showing deleted scences, I would have loved to see Elvis singing "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears" or "Britches". Ho-Hum! Perhaps there will be a special collectors edition one day.Movie Review: Presley's Best Dramatic Film
Summary: 4 Stars
"Flaming Star" (1960) proves that Elvis Presley could handle a straight dramatic role. This is a downbeat, yet provocative Western - sensitively directed by Don Siegel with an excellent cast. Elvis sings only a brief song during the first 10 minutes, which probably accounts for the film's weak showing at the box office. Nevertheless, Presley delivers a strong, affecting performance as a half-breed Indian forced to take sides in a deadly conflict. The final scene is particularly memorable. Beautifully filmed in Cinemascope, this "widescreen" DVD release has been a long time coming.Movie Review: Western with a difference
Summary: 4 Stars
For Elvis fans this shows the King in a serious role as a half caste neither accepted by his white counterparts or the Indian comunnity. For its time it is a good account of how predudice can influence the opions of all. For classic movie lovers it is well worth seeeing as the cast in general is excellent (Steve Forrest, Dolores del Rio) and the story does have merrit. It is a good western and for Elvis fans a tear jerker as "Pacer" rides off in the sunset to die. 97 mins of entertainment.
