      G Released Mar 21, 1969 1 hr. 41 min. Western List
      Reviews Having been raised by Nez Perce tribe member Ol' Antoine (Chief Dan George), rancher Smith's (Glenn Ford) sympathy for Native Americans is well known. When young Indian Gabriel (Frank Ramierez) is falsely accused of murder, he takes refuge on Smith's land rather than turn himself in to Deputy Sheriff Vince (Keenan Wynn). Though initially convinced Gabriel will receive a fair trial, Smith is forced to stand up for the young boy after both he and Ol' Antoine are arrested by the racist authorities.

      r 9 This arguably tries too hard and its message is crammed in, but it at least does have positive intentions. 'Smith!' features likeable performances from Glenn Ford and Chief Dan George, while Keenan Wynn is a good actor to have onscreen - even if he plays an antagonist. Nancy Olson's character is annoying, though. There is also unfortunately some inappropriate casting, namely Warren Oates. I do like the look of the film, in how it is shot etc. The plot is pretty messy, even with an obvious motive. The tone of the film seems, at least to me, to be all over the place as it probably tries to do too much. It's also the definition of the white savior trope. Despite those things, it does at least end in pleasant fashion. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Sometimes I can't believe I actually sat through the whole thing & even though it was a boring movie, Smith! would run circles around any of the piece of crap movies Disney puts out today.It seems like either the Disney movies put out before I was born up until maybe the late 80's were great or even good movies.Now Disney might have 1 or 2 good 1's but nothing like they use to.Take a look at Smith! & you'll see what I mean Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member (First and only viewing - 1/6/2011) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
