Run of the Arrow (Samuel Fuller, 1957)

Profoundly strange and vaguely godawful; both renews my faith in Fuller and makes me want to wait awhile before watching anything else of his.  The shot with Steiger talking to the officer about the war is one of the best conversations in Hollywood history.  I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching movies about the interaction between whites and Native Americans because I don't think I'll ever find one that comes close to capturing what it was really like.
