LaserDisc Movie Review:
After being blacklisted from Hollywood for 21 years, writer/director Abraham Polonsky made a healthy comeback with Tell Them Willie Boy is Here. The title character, played by Robert Blake, is a Paiute Indian living in 1909 California. After several years in the White Man's world, Willie Boy returns to his reservation, hoping to renew his romance with tribeswoman Lola (Katherine Ross). Old Mike (Mike Angel), Lola's father, strongly disapproves of her relationship with Willie Boy and attacks the youth. Acting in self defense, Willie Boy kills Old Mike. Under tribal rules, Willie Boy is now permitted to claim Lola as his woman. But white lawman Christopher Cooper (Robert Redford) is forced to charge Willie Boy with murder. The Indian and his girl escape the reservation, pursued by the essentially decent Cooper and a less-than-decent crowd of white vigilantes. What begins as comparative minor incident, snowballs into a huge political crisis, with the bewildered but defiant Willie Boy as the catalyst. Tell Them Willie Boy is Here is distinguished by the fine performances of leading players Redford, Blake, Ross and Susan Clark, and by the haunting cinematography of Conrad Hall. --- Hal Erickson

Most notable as Abe Polonsky's return to directing after two decades on the blacklist, it sadly lacks the brilliance of the earlier Force of Evil (1948) or his script for Body and Soul (1947). The tale of a young Paiute Indian (Robert Blake), whose killing of his lover's (Katherine Ross) father quickly grows into a minor political crisis, is intended as a ritualized tragedy of injustice with veiled allusions to McCarthy-ite witch hunts, but is so hamstrung by its cryptic plot and beautiful, yet murky compositions that its impact is severely diminished. The script unwisely buries its more compelling narrative line of clashing cultures to wander among a pair of wispily impenetrable romances. Still, the film is graced with four excellent performances: Robert Redford as the sheriff whose name, Cooper, is supposed to signal his essential decency; the much underrated Susan Clark, as the sympathetic Paiute reservation administrator; as well as Ross and an outstanding Blake. Despite the dimness of many night scenes, cameraman Conrad Hall makes the most of the region's striking terrain. --- Michael Costello
