(1954) Drum Beat
WESTERN/ HISTORICAL
Written and directed by Delmer Daves providing a serious look on the peace treaty between the Yankees representing the settlers and Kintpuash (Charles Bronson) representing his tribe of Native Americans. Johnny MacKay (Alan Ladd) is appointed to do the job with Kintpuash making things difficult, since he prefers to solve conflicts by using violent means. This is not a very enjoyable western Americana as i do not care for it's pessimism. . One of few Westerns about Native Americans that was not as entertaining as "Little Big Man", "Shalako", "White Buffalo", and "The Big Trail" to name a few.
