Elvis' best performance

In a rare dramatic role, Elvis Presley showed what he was capable of doing as an actor. This was a western that explores prejudice and injustice as a family is torn apart by mixed feelings between the locals and the indians. Flaming Star is a powerful film that deals with racial issues in the old west. It's a shame that Elvis wasn't given more decent roles like that of Pacer.

Elvis when life was innocent.

Totally loved this. I'd never really "gotten into" Elvis before, glad I chose this as a starting place. Apparently working on his acting talents at this point (v. singing talents, already honed). Disappointed in the ending, but I wasn't watching it for script value.

With only one song , this movie is a disappointment?

This movie is an early one where Elvis actually does some real acting and it is a Cowboy and Indian and half-breed movie.
Texas has an Indian uprising in 1878 of his mother's people:
his white older half brother and his father make his family half native American and they are caught between.
Tragedy results with loss of friends and family.
As I love Elvis's singing I miss there not being more
music, but the script is a grim tale of a lot of death and sorrow.

BEST of ELvis honestly!

This movie was the first in a long line of Elvis movies. I especially enjoyed the fact he wasn't ELVIS but an Indian playing a part of an inter racial marriage and the settling of the old west. I cried at the end. Too bad he never got to develop a true acting career instead of the singing, hip hopping movies he was famous for. If you want to see ELvis in a great movie, watch this one. It's wonderful!

not the item pictured

this is not a review of the movie - the movie is great, A+ - but the dvd i was sent is not the one pictured - i was expecting to get the cinema classics edition (white cover with elvis and barbara eden) - i was sent the version from an old box set (brown cover with "ELVIS" across the top) - there is a difference (besides the cover art) - the cinema classics version comes with a lobby card and extras on the dvd - if amazon no longer sells certain items they should take down those adverts - misleading - i bought this twice in an effort to get the version i wanted (the version amazon advertised on their site) - the first purchase i gave to my brother, he liked it - i bought it again explaining that i was sent the wrong version - i was sent the wrong version again - so i assume amazon doesnt sell the cinema classics version - but just uses a picture of it - misleading - for the record, amazon advertises both versions for the same price - which to me indicated that they sold both versions - perhaps the warehouse guys dont care enough to notice a difference when shipping an order

West Texas in the years after the Civil War is an uneasy meeting ground of two cultures, one white. The other native American. Elvis portrays Pacer Burton. The son of a white rancher (John McIntire) and his beatiful Kiowa Indian wife (Dolores DelRio). When fighting breaks out between the settlers and natives, Pacer tries to act as a peace maker, but the "flaming star of death" pulls him irrevocably into the deadly violence.
