Kate and the Indians

About This Movie

So, 'Kate and the Indians' is this bizarre blend of comedy and Western, right? It’s got this loose, exploratory vibe that feels almost like a road movie but set in the desert. The performances are kind of over-the-top, matching the absurdity of the plot where Kate and her professors find themselves tangled in these surreal sexual escapades with a tribe that’s just... wild. It's a curious mix of humor and satire, and the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add to the film's eccentric charm. You can really sense the countercultural influences of the time seeping through, making it a curious slice of 70s cinema.

This film has had a bit of a rough ride in terms of availability. It was released on VHS, but good luck finding a copy nowadays; they pop up occasionally on auction sites. There’s a niche interest among collectors because of its odd premise and the way it captures that specific era's filmmaking style. You might find some stills or lobby cards floating around, but complete sets are pretty scarce. It’s definitely one of those titles that sparks conversation among collectors about the eccentricities of 70s cinema.
