Foxfire
Amanda Dartland accompanies her half-Apache husband Jonathan to a mining community where he will supervise the excavation of an almost mythical Apache treasure. His jealous rages and macho attitude cause her much misery, while the excavation project is threatened by prejudice and fear. Amanda tries to bridge the cultural gap, and Jonathan must do the same, or he will lose her. Mesmerizing brief performance by Celia Lovsky as Princess Saba.

"Foxfire" is a romantic melodrama that weaves its tension through themes of racism and cultural disparity. Jane Russell portrays the affluent white woman opposite Jeff Chandler, cast as the well-educated man hailing from a reservation. The film attempts to offer a measure of understanding, but it’s still flawed by the dated practice of casting white actors in all principal roles.
