Plot summary
Initially enslaved, he comes to respect his captors' culture and gains their respect. He joins the tribe by marrying his owner's daugter and killing a rival Indian; then, taking the native name "Horse", he becomes a respected member of the tribe.
The sequel, The Return of a ManCalledHorse, was, through the involvement of Kershner and his associates, a significantly more sensitive and realistic portrayal of Native American culture on the big screen.
After The Return of a ManCalledHorse, which even Rosenthal agrees to being one of his finest compositions, both Meteor and Clash of the Titans (despite the shortcomings of their films) would continue to interest film score enthusiasts.
For The Return of a ManCalledHorse specifically, Rosenthal would have the opportunity to infuse a classical, European sound (from the perspective of the title character) into an ethnically rich canvas inspired by the Sioux tribes.
One of the first (and only) Hollywood movies to graphically showcase flesh hook suspension is 1970's A ManCalledHorse (starring Richard Harris, based on the novel Indian Country by Dorothy M. Johnson).
There was a third and much less acclaimed sequel in 1982, Triumphs of a ManCalledHorse, with Richard Harris again reprising his role as Morgan.
