Red Tomahawk (1967) was straight up racist. The tone-deaf western was released during an era of burgeoning minority activism.

A.C. Lyles produced several low-budget westerns at Paramount between 1963 and 1967, most of which are fast-paced and cliche ridden. This one was no exception, but it was abnormally racist even for the genre.

beloved Paramount employee A.C. Lyles was an accessible ambassador for the studio, its longest running employee who worked on the lot for nearly 90 consecutive years.
