Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe role of Old Lodge Skins was initially offered to Marlon Brando, who turned it down. Other sources claim Arthur Penn's first choice for the role was Sir Laurence Olivier. When that didn't work out, Richard Boone was slated for the role. When Boone backed out at the last minute, Chief Dan George was given the part and earned an Oscar nomination.
- GoofsThe wires forcing a horse to fall are visible in the final battle scene, just before Custer exclaims "Fools! They're shooting their own horses!"
- Quotes
Old Lodge Skins: There is an endless supply of white men. There has always been a limited number of human beings.

Featured review
Classic film finally appears on DVD
Slow paced? Clearly this comment came from somebody with Attention Deficit Disorder or someone raised on MTV. Actually quite a bit happens to this classic satircal western. The writing, direction and acting are marvelous. The transfer to DVD beautiful. It lacks extras which is a pity as (of this writing)Arthur Penn is still around to the best of my knowledge.
