Flaming Star is a 1960 Western film starring Elvis Presley, based on the book Flaming Lance (1958) by Clair Huffaker. Critics agreed that Presley gave one of his best 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.

The film rights for Flaming Star had been circulating around Hollywood since 1958 when 20th Century Fox finally decided to cast Presley in the lead role. Originally Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando were lined up to play the brothers.
Recording sessions took place on August 8 and October 7, 1960, at Radio Recorders in Hollywood. The soundtrack music in the film consists of only two songs, "Flaming Star" and "A Cane And A High Starched Collar." An early version of "Flaming Star," using the film's working title "Black Star," was recorded and later released in the 1990s.(Wikipedia).
