SITTING BULL (1954): Full Western Movie, Full Length Cowboy Film, English. Sitting Bull is a 1954 Eastmancolor Western film directed by Sidney Salkow and René Cardona that was filmed in Mexico in CinemaScope. In a greatly fictionalised form, it depicts the war between Sitting Bull and the American forces, leading up to the Battle of the Little Bighorn and Custer's Last Stand. It was the first independent production to be filmed in the CinemaScope process. Featuring sympathetic portrayals of Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, The New York Times called it a "crazy horse opera".

A cavalry officer sympathetic to the wronged Sioux fixes a meeting between Chief Sitting Bull and President Grant but a dishonest Indian Agent and a hateful General Custer test the Sioux's patience, threatening to derail the peace-talks.

Director: Sidney Salkow
Writers: Jack DeWitt (screenplay), Sidney Salkow (screenplay)
Stars: Dale Robertson, Mary Murphy, J. Carrol Naish

PLOT (Wikipedia): Major Robert Parrish (Dale Robertson) of the 7th Cavalry is considered by some to be his own worst enemy because he's not a "team player". Formerly one of the youngest Colonels in the Union Army during the American Civil War, he is now a company commander under Lt. Colonel (formerly Brevet Major General during the Civil War) George Armstrong Custer (Douglas Kennedy). His fiancée Kathy (Mary Murphy), daughter of Parrish's commanding general, breaks off their engagement because he has not risen in rank.

Parrish gains no friends amongst the civilian community when he chastises them and threatens to "break heads" when they violate Sioux lands. Custer and Parrish's exasperated General and once prospective father-in-law reassigns Parrish and his company to the Bureau of Indian Affairs where Parrish is outraged at the treatment of the Indians and refuses to carry out the orders of the Indian Agent to shoot his escaping charges. Parrish is court martialed and visits his former commanding general--now President of the United States--Ulysses S. Grant--who demotes him to Captain. Parrish convinces the President to come to the Western frontier to meet Sitting Bull and prevent a war.

Back in the West, now Captain Parrish meets Kathy who has announced her engagement with Charles Wentworth (William Hopper), a former major and now a war correspondent. Using captured Indians, including Sam, a former slave now a Sioux, Parrish meets with Sitting Bull (J. Carrol Naish) who agrees to meet the President in a secret meeting. Further conflicts with the Sioux lead Custer to lead his Regiment out assigning Parrish to guard supplies.

Following the Battle of the Little Bighorn that eliminates Custer, most of his men, and his romantic rival Wentworth, Parrish tries to befriend Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse (Iron Eyes Cody). As Parrish knows the US Army's plan of attack, he leads the Sioux to safety in the North. Parrish is court-martialed again, stripped of his rank, and sentenced to death by firing squad for treason.

As the execution is about to take place, Sitting Bull comes to the fort to speak with President Grant. Parrish had told him "the Great Chief will understand," believing he would show mercy to him because his only intention was to prevent more killing. Sitting Bull's pleas with Grant to spare his life. Grant then commutes his sentence to being discharged from the service.

  • You just can't beat the old classics I forgot how good this old movie was and still is
  • Such a great movie. I read a sitting bull book when I was a kid and just fell in love with his wisdom and how brave he was. My mom ppl came from the Sioux tribe in the Dakota's so this movie really spoke to me.
  • @samesame5524
    The deed of Robert and the last words of the sitting bull are remarkable that many who are called great man don't understand. Let the history lives
  • We, the Indonesians, also love cowboy films, esp. about "Crazy Horse" and "Sitting Bull" as they teach us the meaning of stuggle.
  • @elaineen1
    Amazing battle scenes. Great to see many, many participants involved making it look authentic. Not a cheap budget thus giving this movie a feel for what the real battle was like.

    If there were men like Robert Parrish in real life, then bloodshed would have been avoided.

  • @razorshark9320
    Just love this movie. Love the story, the drama, romance, the characters, and the fights.
  • @ramoses1577
    Oh, how I greatly enjoyed this movie & Dale Robertson's choice for the lead actor. I also enjoy him in the Wells Fargo series. And being a Black man myself, the Black character's role gave an added realism that more western movies should show. It would have been nice to have more than just 1 Black person in the picture, but I enjoyed it all. Thanks!
