"Stolen Women, Captured Hearts" is one of the best lovestories I have yet seen on film. Never have I seen so much desire and actually so little physical contact between the hero and the heroine. The tension between the two is building along with the development of the plot and action to a point where one stops to believe, this will be a happy end.
The characters are great: For the time of the story a very strong and independent woman (Anna = Janine Turner) and a man(Tokalah = Michael Greyeyes) so very sensitive to the needs of the woman, he loves, without loosing any masculinity besides being strong and handsome.
Custer (William Shockley)is played exactly so full of deceive, as history has showed him to be and Anna's girlfriend (Sarah = Jean Louisa Kelly) reveals in the end more depth than imagened. Annas brother (Reverend Brewster = Ted Shackelford)gives a sympathetic and understanding impression, whereas her husband (Daniel = Patrick Bergin)is behaving like an ordinary possesive man in those days.
Finally is William Lightning well-cast as the Native-indian boy, who helps bridging the two worlds.
Though "Stolen Women, Captured Hearts" hasn't as many splendid nature scenes as "Dances with wolves" - it's a great film - and what a thrilling end!
