Elvis Presley's "Flaming Star" was the featured film on one of those retro western channels. I had never seen that movie before.
It turned out to be a rather good movie to watch, quite different than the other Elvis movies that I've seen. In other words, it was no "Fun in Acapulco" or "Girls girls girls". In fact, Elvis only sings a couple of songs, and one of them is the movie's opening theme.
Elvis plays a mixed blood Texan. His mother was Indian and the father was white. He is forced to choose between the two cultures and I won't tell you the ending.
Overall, a good movie. Barbara Eden, a few years before "I dream of Jeannie" and Dolores del Rio are in the movie. The latter plays his Indian mother.
