Inhalt: |
Shoshone tribesman and Civil War hero Lance Poole (Robert Taylor) returns home with a Congressional Medal of Honor on his chest and a saddIebag fuIl 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 people must fight to keep their land.
DeviI's Doorway, the first of the dozen or so groundbreaking Westerns by filmmaker Anthony Mann (Winchester '73), is one of the earIiest films sympathetic to Native Americans, standing alongside the same year's Broken Arrow. Perhaps not coincidentaIIy, Lance PooIe's tribaI name is Broken Lance. |
