Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Jack Crabb is the only white survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn and the centenarian shares his story in this picaresque fable of the Old West. In Arthur Penn's adaptation of Thomas Berger's novel, Dustin Hoffman plays Jack from teen years into old age in a bravura performance. And Jack's story is a fantastic one: captured by Indians as a boy, reared as an Indian, shuttling back and forth between the white and Indian worlds. In the process, he befriends everyone from Wild Bill Hickock to George Armstrong Custer and is a gunslinger, a snake-oil salesman, and an Army scout. This is a solid blend of comedy and tragedy, with a strong statement to make about America's treatment of Native Americans without sermonizing. A terrific cast includes Faye Dunaway, Martin Balsam, and Richard Mulligan. But this show is all Hoffman's. --Marshall Fine

I saw this film again after a hiatus of 25 years recently, and it held up very well. No doubt the fans of the Berger book hated it, but as a movie it comes off very well.

My wife likes Dustin Hoffman, but had never heard of Little Big Man, so I purchased it for her. We both loved it. Nice price and prompt delivery.

After seeing Custer's Little Big Horn uniform in the Smithsonian, I thought the movie softened the battle scenes -- but captured the arrogant ambition of the General.

A happy/sad movie slash history lesson in the guise of an old man recalling his younger days growing up in the old west. The scenes between Jack Crabb (Hoffman) and Gen Custer were my favorite. The actor who played Custer was hilarious and perfectly cast for the part. Actually all the acting and scenes in this movie were well-done. I thought it started out kind of slow at first but found I was getting right into it after a little while. This movie could probably be most appreciated by anyone familiar ... Read More

DVD will have to do until the Blu-Ray version comes out. I can't find a Blu-Ray release date at [...]. This is one of my favorite movies. I played the DVD on a Sony Blu-Ray player connected to a 52" Samsung 60 Hz LCD TV. I watch all movies with the subtitles on (my hearing is fine). This movie matched the spoken words pretty well but the letters are larger than most and in yellow. The whole movie is in English and the subtitles are not needed at all (I just don't like to miss any of the dialogue). The DVD ... Read More
