I just finished watching the VHS tape of the movie, "Devil's DOOR" and loved it. I was struck by how sympathetic to Native Americans it was being 1950. When judged against its contemporaries, it would certainly have raised a few eyebrows.
Also, I immediately saw parallels between the protagonist (Robert Taylor) having to fight racism against Indians on the home front after fighting for the USA gallantly in the Civil War, and African Americans who fought in WWII having to deal with the same in post war America. Again, another eye-brow raiser for its time.
Well paced, well acted, and uncompromising. I have a new favorite to add to my list.
