It is said that Elvis Presley gave one of his best acting performances as the half-breed Pacer Burton. In the film Pacer is torn between two cultures and must choose sides. Elvis only performs two songs, including the title song and A Cane and a High-Starched Collar. The songs Britches and Summer Kisses, Winter Tears were deleted from the movie.
FlamingStar is a solid Western drama about a half-breed son in a small Texas community.
There are clichés to be dealt with in FlamingStar, but Siegel's action style keeps things fresh and covers any dull passages up with some ambling sagebrush and Western horse play.
One lasting impression you have after leaving FlamingStar is that Presley could have become a very strong acting presence given the right kind of screen roles.
