COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Henry Brandon submitted by willow on January 13, 2017, 10:31pm Here is another movie in which the Native American character was played by a white actor, in this case the Comanche character of "Scar" was played by German-American actor Henry Brandon, who was a master of ethnic disguise, from Fu Manchu to an African chieftan in "Tarzan and the She-Devil."

John Ford directed this uncommonly complex western submitted by ccrose on August 30, 2019, 8:16am Watched this in college. John Wayne plays a fellow who wants revenge for the kidnapping of his brother’s daughters. By Comanche warriors. He searches five years. How long do you hold a grudge and hold onto slim hope. Natalie Wood has a tiny part. She’s very young.
