4.7 / 10 · TMDB

The Chief's son, Silver Water, returns from college and is met at the station by the tribe. The Indians make merry to celebrate his homecoming. Hal Benton, an easterner, rides on to ask his way to the hotel, where he is stopping with some friends, among them his fiancée, Veda Mead, and her father. Knowing that the Indian ceremonies will interest his friends, Hal obtains permission to come the next day and bring his friends. The Chief calls Morning Star, an Indian maiden, telling his son that she is to be his squaw. Silver Water is pleased with her. The next day Hal Benton and his friends arrive. While the others inspect the camp, Veda Mead amuses herself with Silver Water and ere long is thoroughly infatuated with him, while the Indian's vanity is touched by the attentions of the society coquette, and he promises to meet her the next day. Their little tete-a-tete is cut short by the entrance of Morning Star.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a dramatic clash of worlds, relying on the contrast between tribal traditions and the mannered society of the visitors. It explores fatal mutual curiosity through the visual language of ceremonies and silent acting.

What lingers after viewing is a sense of melancholic inevitability, where personal affections become collateral in a civilizational encounter. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Al Christie
