After the surrender of Geronimo, one Apache leader remains unconquered. This pacifist Indian (Burt Lancaster) learns from the U.S. Cavalry that sometimes fighting is the only way. But his one man crusade for his tribe's rights ends rather surprisingly. Also starring Charles Bronson. "Aldrich's first western is a fine, muscular piece anticipating Ulzana's Raid in its acceptance of the alien nature of the Apache...the Apache's odyssey is delineated with considerable complexity, alternately confirming and challenging his distrust of the white man's ways" (Tom Milne, Time Out). Robert Aldrich---USA---1954---91 mins.

Robert Aldrich (The Dirty Dozen, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?) directed this little-known gem, which has become somewhat of a cult classic. Set during The Depression, this tense low-key action thriller centers on the adventures of A-1 (Lee Marvin), a legend among the community of hobos riding the rails. Ernest Borgnine plays Shack, a truly sadistic railroad man on the warpath against any hobos who dare ride his train. Keith Carradine plays A-1's sidekick, a hobo out to prove himself but may be more trouble than he's worth. Robert Aldrich---USA---1973---120 mins.
