Trivia:

The photo in the closing credits of the film was taken in 1886 by Camillus Fly, the famous Tombstone (AZ) photographer. The white boy in the photo is Jimmy (Santiago) McKinn, captured by the Apaches in 1885. Like the Paul Newman character in the film, McKinn was totally assimilated in the tribe and was rescued against his will when Geronimo surrendered in 1886. more

Quotes:

Strong ongoing praise for a film that holds up well., 21 July 2002

Author: scott wannberg (mrmumps@earthlink.net) from Los Angeles, California

Elmore Leonard meets Arizona and racism. Terse, strong Martin Ritt helmed exploration into human frailty. Richard Boone sings rich as always.Caustic, thoughtful, dark, and vital. It still involves.A film that never falters in its ability to grab you.
