Run of the Arrow is a 1957 western film starring Rod Steiger, Brian Keith, Ralph Meeker, Jay C. Flippen and a young Charles Bronson. Set at the end of the American Civil War, the movie was directed by Samuel Fuller and filmed in Technicolor. Confederate veteran O'Meara (Steiger) refuses to accept defeat following the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomatox. He renounces his family and America, travels west and joins the Native American Sioux tribe, and takes a wife (Yellow Moccasin, played by Sara Montiel). However, when the US Army build a fort on Sioux lands, O'Meara must make a difficult decision when fighting starts. Run of the Arrow was the first film to use blood squibs to simulate realistic bullet impacts. The movie was filmed at St. George, Utah. Originally produced by RKO Pictures, the studio went bankrupt before it was released. Universal bought Run of the Arrow from RKO and distributed it as a Universal picture. Sara Montiel's voice is dubbed by Angie Dickinson. At the time of its release, critics commented favorably on director Samuel Fuller's decision to concentrate on feet in the "run of the arrow" scene rather than showing the actors in their full entirety. LESS
