Joe Panther (1976)

 

A young Seminole Tribe member comes of age outside the Florida Everglades by trying to enter the establishment ( white man's world 

From memory: Thoughtful, interesting coming-of-age story follows the traits of its Native American hero trying to find his way through a tough and not so friendly world; adequate performances and some good (underwater) cinematography make this film quite watchable.

Halliwell (no star): "Pleasant rites-of-passage drama about an adolescent and his dog that takes in alligator wrestling along the way, though it may now seem too tame for its intended youthful audience." 

Maltin***: "Good family film..."

The Rare Breed (1966)

An English woman and her daughter enlist the aid of a cowboy to try and get their hardy hornless bull to mate with the longhorns of Texas, but have to overcome greedy criminals and the natural elements.

Broad, solidly made Western with an unusual topic is a partly amusing drama, but not really exciting; the star cast does a good job, though.

Halliwell (no star): "Amusing Western idea which misses fire by not coming down firmly as either drama or comedy; it does however pass the time amiably enough."

Maltin***: "Odd part-comedy Western on the unusual subject of improving cattle breeds. Hampered only by too much obvious studio shooting."

5 Against the House (1955)

Four vets attending college on the GI Bill and a cabaret singer try to rob a Reno Casino and pull off the perfect crime.
