Apache finds Burt Lancaster not only in his element, as he was a fantastic Western (and a great all-around) movie actor, but finding space to create great sympathy and pathos in this film, one of the earlier films to show Native Americans in a more humane light. Lancaster plays Massai, who refuses to surrender with Geronimo, and escapes to plan a one-man revolution against the Army and settlers. Along the way, he finds love with Jean Peters and gains the respect of chief Army scout Al Sieber, played by John McIntire. Lancaster infuses Massai with great dignity and honor, and even though we already know that his cause is bound to fail, we celebrate his triumphs and bemoan his defeats. His character has the kind of nobility that may seem Hollywood inspired, but at the end of the day, he's a man who wants to live as he chooses. Apache is an excellent film, and a wonderful showcase for Burt Lancaster.  

The best scene I thought was when he was in a white man's town and saw the things he had not witnessed before during his life near the mountains in a teepee. Like a man coming out into a different time zone or a strange dream. Well done by Lancaster and Peters as it showed a variation of the sad theme of the last Indian's gradually admitting defeat and transitioning into another strange world- that of the white man.
