This film was produced in 1955, not long after Peter Marshall's death. Keep in mind that this was before Civil Rights although by 1955 standards, it was very pro-black. This is reflective in the number of black speaking roles and generally positive presentation of our black countrymen. Yet, by 21st century standards it would be woefully insulting and the stuff of ridicule. If you can overlook this aspect, the rest of the story is a wonderful testament to a man's faith and dedication to God on a personal level. Catherine's experience with TB is very touching and I'm sure everyone can relate to the confusion and frustration of being in an inexplicably difficult circumstance when God seems indifferent to our desires. Yet like in Catherine's case, it was God's desire that was being...

The film is gritty and unsentimental and none of the characters are saints. New York City is depicted as a tough place to survive especially on the dirty waterfront where Skip McCoy (Widmark) lives and...

"Both Burt Lancaster and Jean Peters give outstanding performances" - wrote Variety in 1954 - and after watching this movie for the umpteenth time I believe they do deliver great performances in APACHE. It was the first one made by Holywood that dared to portray a movie from the Indian's point of view; and that alone deserves some credit. A bit of TRIVIA Jean Peters's performance in Apache, according to director Robert Aldrich, is even more outstanding because she had a personal dislike of Lancaster as a person and had to show complete devotion towards him throughout the entire film. Despite this fact, the two actors had some sort of chemestry in their scenes together that comes accross on the screen. On top of that, both these actors were made up to look their worst in rags and...
