They Died With Their Boots On

A really excellent film. Well worth the purchase. Thank You.

Loved knowing that this movie can be purchased as a DVD since watching it for years like this on a VHS, loved it and will recommend it to anyone who wants one.

Not accurate historically, but really good movie none the less...

As advertised, came on time, my husband loved it! I am very happy with this service and will continue to use it.

Good buy at a good price.

One of the best westerns from the Golden Age of Hollywood. They dont get any better then this historic film.

Classic Hollywood production even if not an accurate finale at Little Big Horn. Still one of my favourite westerns.

This was the last picture that Olivia and Errol would do together and I think that they knew it. There are many noteworthy scenes, but none more poignant than their last goodbye.

I dont pretend to be a student of history but what little I do know made me scratch my head with this film. The film starts off swimmingly enough charting George Armstrong Custers days as an underachieving dandy at West Point to his rise to glory as he leads a series of successful campaigns in the Civil War. When the film turns westward is when it starts getting interesting. See, Custer it turns out, according to the filmmakers,was a champion of Indian rights and the scourge of the government and its parasitic lobbyists. Yessir, Custer was ahead of his time. Not only was he embracing New Deal ideals but progressive 1960s politics as well. Oh, well, the film is at least entertaining and Im sure it gets the seal of approval from Custers descendants. Its not like that nasty depiction of him in Little Big Man. Errol Flynn is charismatic as Custer. Olivia de Havilland is luminous as his wife and the romantic spark between her and Flynn is combustible. A couple quibbles about a few supporting parts notably Hattie McDaniels tired Mammy routine and that annoying Charley Grapewin assaying another insufferable old coot.

One of my favorite Errol Flynn movies.
