Directed by Edward Dmytryk. .com Broken Lance is a noble entry in the trend of adult Westerns of the early 1950s, scoring on a couple of fronts: (1) as a multigenerational saga, with Shakespearian overtones, of a family bickering over a giant ranch, and (2) as a grown-up look at the dilemma of the Native American... its title perhaps inspired by the Indian-friendly Broken Arrow? Spencer Tracy stars as the blustery patriarch of a cattle spread, threatened by pollution from a nearby copper mine as well as the shiftiness of his older sons (Richard Widmark, Hugh O'Brian, and Earl Holliman). Tracy's bluff characterization--as ever, he seems to be yanking at the script like a cat unraveling a ball of yarn--carries the film effortlessly along. The central character is actually his youngest and wisest son, played by Robert Wagner, who's not especially convincing as the mixed-race issue of Tracy's second marriage, to an Indian woman (Oscar nominee Katy Jurado). Edward Dmytryk directs in a style that could be called "intelligent," which is another way of saying "not very exciting." The early CinemaScope probably accounts for some of the static set-ups, although there are exteriors that are breathtaking (watching this film in its full-screen version would be crazy). The cast is certainly tops; Widmark is overqualified to play a third lead, but who's complaining? Most memorable is the loving relationship between Tracy's cattleman and his Indian wife, although the subject of Native Americans is secondary here (check out The Devil's Doorway and Apache for more overt Fifties looks at the topic). Veteran screenwriter Philip Yordan won an Oscar for his "original story," a curious and long-defunct Academy Award category. --Robert Horton ## Images ![Broken Lance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51X04yWIkQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Western Drama *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024* An all-star cast for this western that is really a drama. It might play a little long, but as long as you don't need a shoot em up you might look in to this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Product Ordered and Received *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2023* Product will be used fo home entertainment use only ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Tracy gold *by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2016* This is the latest in, probably, a long line of classic westerns I've missed. Especially ones starring Spencer Tracy, of which I suspect there are a precious few. Tracy's role alone makes it worth a watch.This story really hasn't aged well as the brainless racism that fuels the plot is all but gone now and without that it's really just another western, missing the level of action we've come to expect in most John Wayne adventures. The supporting cast were capable but not a lot more. Most of them ended up doing episodic television for the rest of their career.Props are deserved for Edward Dmytryk's deft direction. Since I have no insight into what happened when the cameras were not rolling I'm going to presume that Tracy basically was left to do what he does, since he does it so well. And the rest of the cast performed at, or slightly above their pay grade. The one exception is Richard Widmark. I can't help thinking that he had just one speed. Grumpy. Or maybe even acrid. I've watched his performances nearly dismember otherwise decent films for me. There may be something about him that I don't get but his name on the credits always makes me think, "do I REALLY want to watch this?" Fortunately, he stayed well enough inside the lines as Ben Devereaux as to not scupper the show.In sum, Broken Lance is worth watching for Spencer Tracy alone. And the good news is that all the rest is pretty decent so if you invest 90 minutes watching it you won't be disappointed. Especially if you love to watch Spencer Tracy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/9232634-broken-lance](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/9232634-broken-lance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
