The Indian Fighter  (1955)


The first picture from Kirk Douglas' own Bryna Productions (named for his mother) was this Western adventure, in which Douglas, as a frontier scout guiding a wagon train through Sioux country, must keep the peace despite the Sioux chiefs' well-founded suspicions of the white men's motives, and the plot of two rogue settlers to steal the Indians' newly discovered gold.

35mm, color, 88 min.  DIR: André De Toth.  SCR: Frank Davis, Ben Hecht.  CAST: Kirk Douglas, Elsa Martinelli, Walter Abel, Walter Matthau.
