What Flaming Star Is About
Flaming Star was originally written for Marlon Brando, but Elvis Presley, wanting to be taken seriously as a dramatic actor, rejected the ten songs the studio wanted in the film and convinced producers to cut them down to nearly zero, leaving only one song over the opening credits. Presley plays a man of mixed Kiowa and white heritage in this serious western, which grossed less than half of the roughly 10 million dollars taken in that same year by his musical G.I. Blues, a result that sent Hollywood the message that Elvis's fans wanted to see him sing. Who it's for: anyone curious about one of the rare Elvis Presley films built around serious dramatic acting instead of music. Who it's not for: fans expecting an Elvis musical, since the film's box office disappointment stemmed precisely from that mismatched expectation.
