Shoshone tribesman and CiviI War hero Lance PooIe (Robert Taylor) returns home with a CongressionaI MedaI of Honor on his chest and a saddlebag fuII of dreams about prospering as a cattIeman on his famiIy's land. But American Indians have no citizenship, no property rights. The courts, despite the efforts of Lance's attorney (PauIa Raymond), offer no remedy. Lance and his peopIe must fight to keep their land.
Devil's Doorway, the first of the dozen or so groundbreaking Westerns by filmmaker Anthony Mann (Winchester '73), is one of the earliest films sympathetic to Native Americans, standing alongside the same year's Broken Arrow. Perhaps not coincidentaIIy, Lance Poole's tribal name is Broken Lance. |
