They Died With Their Boots On

This went down well and I was forgiven for forgetting fathers day lol. So always a winner in my book. Arrived promplty and in good condition so cannot ask for more than that.

They Died With Their Boots On is a glorified Hollywood style account of the life of General George A. Custer. Errol Flynn with his golden dyed locks makes a dashing Custer as he rises from a naive West Point dandy to Civil War hero. Olivia de Havilland plays his wholesome yet fetching love interest and eventual wife. They are both natives of the same town in Michigan with Custer living on the poor side of the tracks.

One of the best out there for George Armstrong Custer fans

Thanks for the professional service.

Im a big fan of all history, world and U.S. history. Of course, Ive always heard that General Custer was one of our major Indian fighters, and that he was ruthless in his pursuit of their defeat. Now, for those who are interested, look up the new issue of Amerian History magazine (Jan 08 I think) and it has a cover story on General Custer. They discuss this film in great detail, pointing out what was wrong, what was right, and what was made up. It turns out that yes, Custer WAS a supporter of the Indians! I was amazed, but not suprised. Another historical inaccuracy put to rest.

There is a scene in the movie where Flynn is insisting that the fort bar be shut down so that his troops will perform better. The owner of the bar retorts that Flynn would be costing himself money(from sales) just for a better shot at glory. Flynn then delivers the incredible line about the difference between money and glory...

One of our favorites of all time
