The Saturday Western: Flaming Star

on BBC One London

Starring Elvis Presley
with Barbara Eden, Steve Forrest, Dolores Del Rio, John McIntire

The Burton family, although of mixed blood, are more or less accepted by the local White community until the Kiowa Indians attack a neighbouring farm and kill all but one of the inhabitants. Elvis Presley, in his first strong dramatic role, plays the ill-fated half-breed Pacer, who when war comes tries to establish himself as either White or Indian - and finds neither side will accept him.
