Product Description

Recounting how the West was won through the eyes of a white man raised as a Native American, Arthur Penn's 1970 adaptation of Thomas Berger's satirical novel was a comic yet stinging allegory about the bloody results of American imperialism. As a misguided 20th-century historian listens, 121-year-old Jack Crabb (Dustin Hoffman) narrates the story of being the only white survivor of Custer's Last Stand. White orphan Crabb was adopted by the Cheyenne, renamed "Little Big Man," and raised in the ways of the "Human Beings" by paternal mentor Old Lodge Skins (Chief Dan George), accepting non-conformity and living peacefully with nature. Violently thrust into the white world, Jack meets a righteous preacher (Thayer David) and his wife (Faye Dunaway), tries to be a gunfighter under the tutelage of Wild Bill Hickock (Jeff Corey), and gets married. Returned to the Cheyenne by chance, Jack prefers life as a Human Being. The carnage wreaked by the white man in the Washita massacre and the lethal fallout from the egomania of General George A. Custer (Richard Mulligan) at Little Big Horn, however, show Crabb the horrific implications of Old Lodge Skins' sage observation, "There is an endless supply of White Men, but there has always been a limited number of Human Beings."

I judge it to be not as good as How The West Was Won but on par ...
When this movie was released I was 19 years old. That year, and in all the years since, I never bothered to watch it despite it being readily available. So tonight I watched. I judge it to be not as good as How The West Was Won but on par with Soldier Blue. It's well acted, tells a great if implausible story, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a better than average representation of the quality of western movies made in the 70s. Give it a watch and the time will fly by. After the credits roll you'll think of the time as well spent. So say the SurlyPoet from Twitter.
