1970 Arthur Penn film stars Dustin Hoffman as Jack Crabb, who claims he is a survivor of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. We never know if his recollections are tall tales or truthful, but we are treated to adventures that include being raised by Native Americans, becoming civilized thanks to preacher's wife Faye Dunaway, becoming a gunslinger, a drunk, a muleskinner for Custer, and more.Fascinating look at the Old West through revisionary eyes.
Chief Dan George is great as Hoffman's adopted grandfather.
Altogether a great cast and imaginative story masterfully told.
