They Died With Their Boots On

The DVD did not work. I tried in 2 DVD players and in my computer. I would prefer to give the seller no stars. Apparently this is not possible.

great

If the viewer can see beyond this films numerous historical inaccuries he will thoroughly enjoy himself. The wonderful performances of Errol Flynn as George Armstrong Custer and Olivia de Havilland as Custers loyal wife Libby Bacon, a strong supporting cast, superbly staged action sequences, the dynamic direction of Raoul Walsh and Max Steiners stirring score all combine to make They Died With Their Boots On a first-rate adventure film.

A very idealistic portrayal of Custer as savior and martyr for the Indian - and for that, an examination of our American filmic past.

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.

ok

One of the best out there for George Armstrong Custer fans

Everyone in this movie is just heroic. Like they say in the movie, the thing about glory is that you can take it with you...

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The actors, the action and the background music are the best. The 7th Cavs theme song, Gary Owen sends chills up my spine every time I hear it, especially played with the fife and drums. Its the most inspirational marching song around. Marching to battle to Gary Owen is marching to glory.

Forget about of the historical inaccuracies (specially in the final scenes)... SON OF THE MORNING STAR has a much better Little Big Horn reenactment.
