Movie Reviews of They Died with Their Boots On
Movie Review: Classic Flynn
Summary: 5 Stars
Probably his last great film (after this Flynn's legal problems mounted and Warner Brothers tended to put him in westerns and lower-budget action movies). His last pairing with Olivia Dehavilland as well. The DVD copy is well-restored and it has some nice extras. Too bad no one has restored his other film Santa Fe Trail, with Dehavilland and Ronald Reagan -- the public domain copies out there are appallingly poor.
Summary of They Died with Their Boots On
Movie DVDBert Glennon, who shot Stagecoach and seven other John Ford classics, has given this Raoul Walsh biopic of George Armstrong Custer a burnished glow--an evocative interplay of raw sunlight and elegiac shadow like no other vintage Warner Bros. Western. Glennon's artistry and Walsh's trademark gusto sustain enthusiasm even as the screenplay beggars belief. The flamboyant Custer (Errol Flynn), rushed into Civil War service straight from West Point, did get promoted overnight to general and establish a spectacular record for "ride to the guns" leadership. However, Custer as defender of Indians' rights--to the point of willing his own Last Stand so he could accuse corrupt Indian Commissioners from the grave--is historical rewrite of such sweeping chutzpah as to shame DeMille. Flynn and Olivia de Havilland make an even more appealing couple than usual, and the big supporting cast is unflaggingly energetic above and beyond the call of duty. --Richard T. Jameson
