Flaming Star,Enhanced Version DVD, 1960 Western Movie starring Elvis Presley & Steve Forrest.

Not a new DVD but in great condition in a plain cover.

This film is not rare but this unofficial DVD is, please do read below of what this version offers.

Flaming Star was one of the great westerns of the 1960's but many of the scenes were filmed at night and did appear somewhat dark.This unofficial DVD is an enhanced version which shows the night time scenes in moonlight and it really works very well.

Flaming Star is a really great Western.Set in 1860's Texas it is about a mixed race family in the Kiowa Red Indian Wars.Unlike most Red Indian Westerns this is handled in an adult manner by superb Director Don Siegel.

What suprises everyone today is its lead role starred Elvis Presley.Yes that same Elvis who starred in all those second rate 1960's musical comedies.In Flaming Star Elvis gives the performance of his life as Half Breed Pacer Burton the son of a mixed race marriage of a Texan Rancher and his Kiowa Wife.The family are forced to take sides when the Kiowa's start raiding White Farms.

Presleys great co stars are Dolores Del Rio as his Red Indian Mother and Steve Forrest as his half brother Clint.

Flaming Star was one of the most violent films of the 1960's due probably to great film Director Don Siegel who would go on to direct many Clint Eastwood movies.Flaming Star has stood the test of time dating far less than other Westerns.A Great Film.

Flaming Star was not a commercial sucess in 1960 and this is why from here on in Presley was cast in musical comedies that made money at the box office.It is only now that is seen just how good Flaming Star was.
