Message: [QUOTE="TwoCents, post: 3602289, member: 7088"] Indulge me one more reference to The Wagon Master movie. For as many times as I have watched this movie I never picked up on the fact that Jim Thorpe was in it. Now, with that said, if you blink you'll miss him. He portrays a Navajo brave in the sequence where the Navajo girl has been attacked by Reese Clegg. A real cameo appearance. Its too bad John Ford didn't give him a slightly big part. At least a couple lines of dialogue. But to Ford's credit, if you look at this movie and his body of work in Westerns that he made, he gave better treatment and respect in how he portrayed and cast Indians in his movies than most others.
