22% off (Sale price $15.59, Reg. Price $19.99) :: Shoshone tribesman and Civil War hero Lance Poole (Robert Taylor) returns home with a Congressional Medal of Honor on his chest and a saddlebag full of dreams about prospering as a cattleman on his familyâs land. But American Indians have no citizenship, no property rights. The courts, despite the efforts of Lanceâs attorney (Paula Raymond), offer no remedy. Lance and his people must fight to keep their land. Devilâs Doorway, the first of the dozen or so groundbreaking Westerns by filmmaker Anthony Mann (Winchester â73), is one of the earliest films sympathetic to Native Americans, standing alongside the same yearâs Broken Arrow. Perhaps not coincidentally, Lance Pooleâs tribal name is Broken Lance.
