I remember sitting mesmerized at a film with absolutely no dialogue that I completely understood. I would dearly love to have a copy on DVD. What would have to happen to make that a reality? I would gladly buy more than one copy. The film made a monumental impression on me and I have never forgotten it.

You may be interested to know that I helped to make this film. Mike Sysons contacted me in 1970 as I had just been to Pine Ridge reservation. He came to the house and we discussed the costuming and the language. He had already employed the stunt rider and horse and they were training. My role was to help make the 'indians' regalia, based on what we knew of 16th century museum peices. We made several outfits and over 20 pairs of soft soled moccasins. The filming took place over about a month in Spain I think. When we looked through the rushes Mike asked me if I would overdub the soundtrack when the indian takes his first ride and the shouting and whooping and lakota words were overdubbed at the De Lane Lea sound studios in London. I'm glad you like the film, unfortunately I only have a recorded copy taken from when it was aired on Anglia TV in the late 70's.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937642418113410455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385904202567947242.post-84942772551467282362014-04-08T11:18:53.193-07:002014-04-08T11:18:53.193-07:00oh my gawd!

Like his counter part in Mexico the Plains Apache probable didn' know that the rider was a separate animal. I also got the feeling that the horse was near going mad with the armored corpse riding it and was relieved to have it removed even if it was by ambush. I also think the director meant the horse to enjoy the chase by the Apache Warrior and it actually taunted him. In other words,"Earn your ride." In the end there was mutual respect and comradery.

The horse was bearing a dead conquistador riddled with spears. The horse was saddled. I always thought the subtitle was "Sun Dog" because of this scene.
