They Died With Their Boots On

great movie

We are always happy with the movies we order.

We see a lot of good stuff here:

After The Adventures of Robin Hood, this is Errol Flynns best movie. As noted elsewhere, its worthless as history. But the casting of Flynn as Custer has a resonance that burns up the screen, and behind the romanticism one glimpses a portrait of an unhappy, self-destructive man who is a hero in spite of himself. Flynns farewell scene with Olivia de Havilland is almost unbearably moving, as if both sensed the real-life parallel and the future awaiting them both. This is a rousing, action-packed movie with just about everything: adventure, comedy and romance... but its one of the rare ones that also gets under your skin.

Mr Flynns movies are always good and entertaining, love them all and they have been keeping me occupied this cold winter. shame we dont have any up and coming actors as good.

This action packed biopic on Custer features, in my humble opinion, the silver screens most radiant couple. This was their eighth & last film together and they were never better. The screen lights up when they are together.

Wonderful.

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.

They Died With Their Boots On is a very good semi-biography about George Armstrong Custer. The movie follows him from his adventurous West Point days through his time in the Civil War and then as the leader of the heroic Seventh Cavalry. At some points, the story slows down a bit, but it is still an entertaining film. The action scenes are pretty good with the massacre at the Little Big Horn standing out as the best. Many of the things portrayed in the movie may not be the most accurate, but this does not take away from the story which flows along pretty well. However, the last 30 minutes do have a much darker tone as the Seventh Cavalry marches into glory.

good film in windsreen
