Flaming Star is a 1960 American Western film starring Elvis Presley, Barbara Eden, and Steve Forrest, based on the book Flaming Lance (1958) by Clair Huffaker. Critics agreed that Presley gave one of his better acting performances as the mixed-blood "Pacer Burton", a dramatic role. The film was directed by Don Siegel and had a working title of Black Star.[5]
The film reached number 12 on the box-office charts.
It was filmed in Utah and Los Angeles, as well as in Wildwood Regional Park in Thousand Oaks, California.[6] A road near Wildwood in Thousand Oaks has been named Flaming Star Avenue after the movie.[7]
