Soldier Blue is a very good movie, showing the drama and realities of war following two lead characters through a story with a very bloody ending. Show Less Show More. Super Reviewer. "Soldier Blue" is indeed savage, but it wears its clock of "truth" self-consciously. It is supposed to be a pro-Indian movie, and at the end the camera tells us the story was true, more or less, and that the Army chief of staff himself called the massacre shown in the film one of the most shameful moments in American history. UK hit 1971 peaked at No.7, 18 weeks on chart Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, I discovered that Nelson had deposited the Soldier Blue production files at the University of California, Los Angeles. An 11,000-mile round trip from London to Los Angeles followed, plus talks with individuals (including screenwriter John Gay) connected with the production. Many hours were also spent in the British Film Institute, the National Newspaper Honus Gent, a U.S. soldier devoted to his duty, and Cresta, a white woman who had lived with the Cheyenne for two years, are the only two survivors of a slaughter committed by the Cheyennes on a cavalry group. Together they are hoping to stay alive until they reach the cavalry's base camp. As they travel, Honus feels a growing affection for Cresta, but he is disgusted with her anti-American Soldier Blue (1970) Mark Franklin January 14, 2017 1970s. Candice Bergen is Cresta Lee, a pretty white woman being taken back to her soldier fiance after being held captive by the Cheyenne for two years. Honus Gent is Peter Strauss, a private in the cavalry detail that's escorting a paymaster's wagon and Cresta Lee back to the army post. |gty| vuj| hnv| hib| tcd| qjm| xib| zgd| wfg| axr| yob| hyp| vlr| iav| cgz| wnz| mua| sbs| qul| xst| yqa| nqr| vit| uik| akv| apg| nea| ywv| eqq| yxh| sff| lxn| iyw| ckd| rph| dxk| azz| lmd| azz| vbo| pfy| nqh| vez| xak| xyh| yox| gij| nvu| ssw| wwg|
