Flaming Star is a 1960 American Western film starring Elvis Presley, Barbara Eden, and Steve Forrest, based on the book Flaming Lance (1958) by Clair Huffaker. Critics agreed that Presley gave one of his better acting performances as the mixed-blood "Pacer Burton", a dramatic role.
Flaming Star. Elvis Presley plays Pacer Burton, a half-breed youth in the Old West torn between loyalty to the whites, as represented by his father (John McIntyre), and the Indians, represented by his mother (Dolores Del Rio).
Cyril J. Mockridge’s score is overemphatic and pushes Del Rio’s death scene, an already melodramatic scene, over the top. While the film, unlike Broken Arrow , is even handed in its depiction of racism (Neddy’s own sister rejects her for marrying a white man), its articulation of the Indian viewpoint seems stock.

May 28, 2013 · The music (Cyril J Mockridge) is a little ponderous and there are rather obvious orchestrations of ‘Indian’ music when the Kiowa appear but it’s quite gripping. A lot of the movie was filmed in Utah but the scenery makes an effective Texas.
