A B/W film was made about the Native-American who put up the flag on Mt, Suribachi.
He ended up an alcoholic because of his innability to handle fame.
It was a peculiar film because it had 2 endings:
If you stopped it 10 minutes before the end then it had a hopeful ending!
If you let it run to the end then it had a sad ending!
I've seen both films on UK TV (years ago) but I can't think of the name.

Has to be "The Outsider" 1961. Tony Curtis plays Ira Hamilton Hayes.

It is either The American or The Outsider... His name was Ira Hayes.
