Movie Reviews of They Died with Their Boots On
Movie Review: Flynn GREAT as Custer
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the reviews on here some derailing the history depicted while praising the movie and some reviews which are downright biased against Custer -- but after watching this movie all I came away with is that is now one of my all time favorite films. If there are parts that are not true you want them to be. If Custer really wasn't like Errol Flynn you want him to be. It was 2 hours and 20 minutes and I was mesmerized the whole time. A Great movie that has inspired me to read more about the history.
Summary of They Died with Their Boots On
Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland star in this rip-roaring account of General George Custer directed by Raoul Walsh and highlighted by a strong supporting cast that includes Arthur Kennedy and Anthony Quinn. Year: 1942Running Time: 140 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 012569518025Bert 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
