Trivia: Elvis Presley had another song in the film, “Summer Kisses, Winter Tears”, which was cut after preview audiences laughed at the staging (Elvis singing to the Indians around a campfire, accompanied by a chief on war drums). A studio version of the tune was recorded, but the original “Indian” version was only resurrected recently on the German “Elvis: Double Features” CD collection.
“Sam Burton’s second wife Neddy is Indian, their son Pacer a half-breed. As struggle starts between the whites and the Kiowas, the Burton family is split between loyalties. Neddy and Sam are killed; Pacer sides with the Indians, his half-brother Clint with the whites. Written by Otto Oberhauser <Oberhauser@cc.univie.ac.at>”
