Daves 'knowledge of the aliens' way of life and culture ,which can also be felt in his "broken arrow" , is mentioned in the cast and credits .His sympathy for the humiliated hero (Richard Widmark in "the last wagon" bullied by a sadistic sheriff ; Troy Donahue in "Susan Slade" )shows : the marquis de Saint Malo taking on his nephew only to make him a stable boy.
