I hated Bonnie and Clyde. Never understood why anyone liked it. :shrug:

The army deferred to the widow about what info was released in those days and the army used it as an opportunity to absolve themselves of blame. After all, the army made the decision to send the 7th out without repeating arms against an enemy who had them. Custer's mistake was in leaving Gatling guns behind (understandable for a man leading cavalry which is supposed to be light and fast) His tactics were textbook but the Indians behaved differently than they always had before.

To be sure, Custer was a rash officer who thought he couldn't be killed. However, no matter how rash he was, he was a very brave soldier and proved it in the Civil War. But Arthur Penn decided to make him a burlesque figure instead of the somewhat foolhardy, brave soldier he actually was
You just cannot count on leftists to depict history as it was.

I liked it at the time, but it doesn't stand up well through the years. However, it was Gene Hackman's breakthrough movie, so I guess it was good for something.

Estelle Parsons won an Oscar Best Actress in a Supporting Role. The academy had to throw a bone to someone. Better her than Shirley's little brother or Faye.
