Summary

Epic western starring Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway and Martin Balsam. Jack Crabb is a pioneer, adopted Sioux Indian, drunk, conman and adventurer. At 121 years of age, he is all set to tell of his life and times and of the West as it really was. Most importantly, he tells of the climax of his adventures as the only white survivor at the infamous Battle of the Little Bighorn where General Custer led his forces into a massacre.

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Having presented an alternative view of the gangster era in Bonnie and Clyde, director Arthur Penn re-examined some of the most cherished myths of the Old West in this sprawling, handsome and ceaselessly sly tragicomedy. While Dustin Hoffman dominates the film as the 121-year-old who claims to be the sole survivor of Custer's last stand at the Little Bighorn, the dignified, Oscar-nominated performance of Chief Dan George is equally noteworthy. One or two of Hoffman's encounters with the mavericks, hypocrites and fools of the frontier hang heavy, but this is an ambitious, offbeat and thoroughly provocative picture.
