Hasn't held up well.
I remember seeing this movie at a Saturday matinee when I was a little girl. I thought it was good then, but I started watching it tonight and it hasn't held up well. For one thing, white actors playing Indians is just so unauthentic. It takes more than tan makeup to make these actors look Indian. Also making the Indians who held out against white incursions into villains in the light of what has been learned in the ensuing years, just makes it hard to suspend disbelief.Captain Jack was of a tribe (Modoc) that was peaceful before the whites entered their world.
I found something else to watch.
