Avg Customer Rating: 4 stars

Product Description: Definitely a contender for the underwhelming title of Best Elvis Movie, this handsomely shot Western actually makes Elvis act, rather than coast on his personality. (As though to underscore the point, the two obligatory songs are dispensed with under the opening credits and in the first scene.) Don Siegel was probably the best director the King ever worked with, and he draws a quietly smoldering performance from Elvis, who was still undeniably raw. Even better, Siegel captures an existential starkness to homestead and town, and calmly makes a pro-Native American case without preaching (Elvis plays a half-breed caught between sides in an Indian vs. settlers dustup). Yes, this was 30 years before Dances with Wolves--there were actually quite a few such movies during this era. All in all, a decent picture, and an indication of where Elvis's career might have gone if he hadn't given himself over to fluff. --Robert Horton
Customer Reviews

5 stars Elvis' best performance
In a rare dramatic role, Elvis Presley showed what he was capable of doing as an actor. This was a western that explores prejudice and injustice as a family is torn apart by mixed feelings between the locals and the indians. Flaming Star is a powerful film that deals with racial issues in the old west. It's a shame that Elvis wasn't given more decent roles like that of Pacer.


4 stars Flaming Star with Elvis Presley

This is a DVD that can be found with all the Elvis movies. I loved it, but then I loved most of his movies. Kinda dates me huh?


5 stars Flaming Elvis
I liked this story and I think Elvis fits the part of being an Indian very nicely. Elvis is a very skilled rider of horses as displayed in this movie. It dipects the prejudice we are too familiar with and I like Elvis coming to the rescue of the "underdog". A must for your Elvis collection.


5 stars pelvis elvis
most people only remember elvis' most seen movies, but this is one I had to have, and added it to my westerns collection next to the duke and eastwood.


5 stars Excellent Western
This has to be Elvis' best movie. Whether you are a fan or not you will enjoy this movie. Elvis gives an excellent performance plus great cast & story.
