While crossing Cheyenne territory en route to Fort Reunion, a group of cavalry officers is brutally attacked by Indians. Afterward, the only survivors are a naïve private named Honus Gant (Peter Strauss) and a betrothed woman called Cresta (Candice Bergen) who previously lived among the Indians. As the two try to finish their journey alone, Honus finds himself increasingly attracted to Cresta, and yet simultaneously repelled by her sympathy for the Native American tribes.

The film is too mixed up to qualify as a serious allegory about anything. Go to Full Review

Soldier Blue has been tagged as important by some and exploitative by others. Honestly, it's a bit of both. Go to Full Review

Tries to compare this atrocity in Indian history with the My Lai massacre occurring in modern times during the Vietnam War. Go to Full Review

3/10
A clumsy, anachronistic Western which casts Candice Bergen as a shrill female lead who's a lot more 1970 than 1864. Unconvincing. Go to Full Review
