3.0 out of 5 stars Well-intentioned but not entirely successful, 8 Jun 2007

By	Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Despite fond childhood memories, Apache has dated badly. One of the vogue for pro-Native American westerns during the mid-50s (Broken Arrow, Devil's Doorway, etc), this is definitely one of the lesser offerings despite the promising pairing of a painfully miscast Burt Lancaster and Robert Aldrich, who would make amends some 20 years later with the remarkable Ulzana's Raid. The script is a prime offender here, both simplistic and patronising, offering little for either man to really get their teeth into. There are a few good moments, but the sight of Lancaster and Morris Ankrum in brownface remains the film's lasting image.

MGM/UA's transfer is acceptable, although the colour system used to shoot the film originally has not held up well and leads to a variable look to the film. The original theatrical trailer - bizarrely played as a breaking news report - is included, but the original captions have all been removed for some reason.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Shiver in the air and Gone, 13 Mar 2009

By	Bob Salter "Captain Spindrift" (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews

The true character on which the film is based is probably more interesting than the film itself. Massai was a Chiricahua Apache who surrendered to US Forces in 1886 together with Geronimo and his small band of warriors. Following this they were all transported East on the railroad for re-settlement. Massai managed to escape during the journey and traveled back West. It was an incredibly long journey that took him over a year, in which he avoided all human contact. He was sought for many years but was never recaptured. His brutal depredations in Old Mexico, New Mexico and Arizona became the stuff of legends. It was said "Massai manifested himself like the dust storm, or the morning mist, a shiver in the air and gone". Frederic Remington that great painter and chronicler of the Old West told his story as heard from a Chief of Scouts in "Massai's Crooked Trail" in 1898. The highest point at the Chiricahua National Monument is called Massai point.

"Apache"(54) is directed by Robert Aldrich. This was his first Western and only his third film. The all American Burt Lancaster plays Massai and the blue eyed Jean Peters plays his squaw Nalinle. Unfortunately at that time Indians were portrayed mainly by white actors. This tends to detract from the pictures of that period. Charles Bronson also appears as an Apache scout for the whites. In the film Massai following his escape finds a spot in the high country where he plants corn given to him by a peaceful Cherokee. Nalinle becomes pregnant and he hopes to see out his days in peace. This of course does not happen and he is pursued to his stronghold.

Massai is portrayed as a noble warrior in the film who only kills stereo typical bad whites who deserve it. The real Massai did not mind too much who he killed! The happy ending is extremely contrived and appears to have been almost tagged on. Aldrich went on to make a much better Western in "Ulzanas Raid"(71), again based on true events. Despite this "Apache" is still a good film for its time period. As always Lancaster gives a muscular performance. A lot of its faults are down to the conventions of the time. The acid test is that I still enjoy watching it. Whilst not a classic, it is a good film. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars DVD Purchase, 1 Aug 2009

By	Dale Armstrong "Heron Books" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Burt Lancaster ! What more is there to say ! A legend !
Forty four years of films with Birdman from Alcatraz topping them all.
These films will be watched for generations to come.
Worthy of a place in my DVD collection any time.
