Geronimo (1962)


United Artists
Directed by Arnold Laven
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, MGM Limited Edition Collection)

The Apaches surrender to the Cavalry and are escorted to their new home on a government reservation. Stripped of their pride and dignity, their leader, Geronimo, wages guerrilla warfare against the superior American forces. While Geronimo's machismo may aid him on the battlefield, it hinders his relationships with women, particularly with the pretty young Indian girl he forces into marriage. A long subplot detailing their romance weighs down the film considerably. Kamala Devi plays the girl, and would be Chuck Connors' wife for the next ten years.
