Eagle's Wing

Overly artsy and a bit pretentious British(?!) western starring Sheen as a city-bred trapper who is slowly educated in the ways of the wilderness as he battles Comanche chief Waterston over the capture of a magnificent but elusive white stallion. The whole thing is a rather obvious allegorical tale that sees white-man Sheen desiring the psyche and freedom of red-man Waterston. Nice try at a western by the British, but it is only held together by good performances from Sheen and Waterston. Screenplay writer John Briley went on to write GANDHI, for which he won an Oscar.
