Taza, Son of Cochise (1954)
Country: US
Technical: col 79m
Director: Douglas Sirk
Cast: Rock Hudson, Barbara Rush, Greg Palmer
Synopsis:
The sons of conciliatory Apache chief, Cochise, differ over whether to follow their father's example, and the more warlike of the pair lusts also after his brother's betrothed.
Review:
Fast-moving fun, remarkably violent with its spears and arrows, and a savage flogging meted out to the heroine, Oona. Good colour reminds one of the director's glossy melodramas, and the Indians are still played by the likes of Rock Hudson, though he is far from risible in the title role. The plot is doggedly routine, the presentation of native American life what French critics might call 'lyrical'.
