Film Was Held Back Due To Nervousness of MGM's Brass

posted 7 years ago by Bruce7

Devil's Doorway was completed first but held back from release due to the nervousness of MGM's studio brass over the subject matter.

[about his role in Devil's Doorway (1950)] I admired the characterization because of the fact that the Indian, previously considered the "heavy" in early Westerns, is a regular guy. For once he gets a chance to tell his side of the story.
