Curiosidades

Sitting Bull is a 1954 American-Mexican Eastmancolor Western film directed by Sidney Salkow and René Cardona that was filmed in Mexico in CinemaScope. In a greatly fictionalised form, it depicts the war between Sitting Bull and the American forces, leading up to the Battle of the Little Bighorn and Custer's Last Stand. It was the first independent production to be filmed in the CinemaScope process. Featuring sympathetic portrayals of Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, The New York Times called it a "Crazy Horse opera".

Production

Boris Karloff was first announced to play the title role, but J. Carrol Naish ended up repeating his role from Annie Get Your Gun.

Though sympathetic to the Native Americans, Minnesota producer Wilfred R. Frank irritated the Sioux by not filming his epic at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. One of the first Westerns made in CinemaScope, Frank filmed in Mexico (using Mexican extras) due to cheaper costs. According to Cody, though, Estudios Churubusco overcharged Frank's production by several hundred thousand dollars.

Soon after the filming, Dale Robertson and Mary Murphy married each other, but the marriage was annulled after six months because Robertson did not want any children.
