Rating: - fun time, but nothing special
I viewed this movie as a decent Western, if taken as pure American mythology, in the same spirit as Longfellow's "Song of Hiawatha".

"Geronimo" (1962) is in the same philosophical line as "Broken Arrow" (1952), that is to say: presenting the Apaches as human beings, not as blood-thirsty savages. Certainly the present film is not a Classic as the other one, but delivers the same message loud and clear.

His leading lady, and second wife, Kamala Devi, lends a demure balance to the fierce, and grumpy Geronimo.You will watch it over and over again, ... Read More
