Director: Anthony Mann
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Actually made before Broken Arrow, but held up by a nervous MGM so that the Delmer Daves film reaped all the kudos for spearheading the pro-Indian cycle of Westerns. Taylor is the Indian who, having fought for the North in the war between the states, returns to his homelands only to find that the war against racism has still not been won. Mann's first Western, which he shoots as if it were a film noir and makes into a tough, bleak and cynical tragedy.Author: CW
