Paleo-Cinema Podcast 24: Five Movies By Robert Aldrich - 1954-1956 - Cowboys, Indians, Private Eyes, Actors and Soldiers

This time around I'm looking at five movies made by Robert Aldrich between 1954 and 1956. They are Apache starring blue eyed Burt Lancaster as Massai, the last Apache warrior, Vera Cruz where Lancaster buddies up with Gary Cooper... for a while, Kiss Me Deadly which merges private eye film noir with Atomic Era McCarthy paranoia, The Big Knife which shows the disintegration of a movie star and Attack! which takes a raw look at the politics of war on a small scale.
