48.0. ""The Dark Wind" (Hillerman book) ever made into movie?" by STAR::BECK (Paul Beck) Thu Feb 18 1993 18:27

    There's a Tony Hillerman book from a couple of years ago called "The
    Dark Wind", the cover of which advertises it soon to be a major motion
    picture (are they ever minor?) starring Lou Diamond Phillips. My wife, a
    Jim Chee (the hero of several Hillerman books) fan, tried to locate said
    movie in a video rental place, and was unable to find it or any
    reference to it.

    Does anybody know if said movie was ever made?

    (The book takes place on the Navajo and Hopi reservations; Jim Chee is a
    Navajo policeman, for those unfamiliar with Hillerman's books.)

	According to a reader in the Native_Americans notesfile, note 43.86, "Dark Wind" was released in Europe, but the Hopi got an injunction against its release in the US.
