Product Description

Amazon.ca

Bert Glennon, who shot Stagecoach and seven other John Ford classics, has given this Raoul Walsh biopic of George Armstrong Custer a burnished glow--an evocative interplay of raw sunlight and elegiac shadow like no other vintage Warner Bros. Western. Glennon's artistry and Walsh's trademark gusto sustain enthusiasm even as the screenplay beggars belief. The flamboyant Custer (Errol Flynn), rushed into Civil War service straight from West Point, did get promoted overnight to general and establish a spectacular record for "ride to the guns" leadership. However, Custer as defender of Indians' rights--to the point of willing his own Last Stand so he could accuse corrupt Indian Commissioners from the grave--is historical rewrite of such sweeping chutzpah as to shame DeMille. Flynn and Olivia de Havilland make an even more appealing couple than usual, and the big supporting cast is unflaggingly energetic above and beyond the call of duty. --Richard T. Jameson

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing Feb 20 2013
By spooky123
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love the movie, and the copy of the movie is fine, but as advertised on amazon, it s suppose to be in color!!!, which isn't what i received. i got the black and white version, very disappointed, had i known i was going to get this version i could have saved myself the money and rented it out at the library. The way i see it Amazon provided false advertisment, careful should you order this version and your expecting the colorized version.

3.0 out of 5 stars Custer's Last Stand, the fictional version Mar 8 2011
By R. Pellettier
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Strictly a fun adventure, loosely connected to historical fact about George Armstrong Custer, who died infamously at Little Big Horn. It pales by comparison to Little Big Man but is fun to watch with very little to be bored about. While I'm sure the Lakotas and Cheyennes would take exception to They Died With Their Boots on, it does put the Plains Indians in a good light, placing blame on whites for the wrongs.

5.0 out of 5 stars HISTORY ACCORDING TO JACK WARNER July 2 2004
By Gregory Saffady
Format:VHS Tape
If you want historical accuracy about George Armstrong Custer and his legacy pay a visit to the library. This is history according to Warner Bros. Studios, and no one of school age would cite it as a reference source for a term paper. Errol Flynn, handsome, debonaire, smooth...business as usual...The elegant Olivia DeHaviland, the two were never paired better than they are here. THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON is a great film. Get it to DVD and include the lyrics to "Gary Owen" in the liner notes.

4.0 out of 5 stars This movie is a metaphor for WW II in 1942.
I saw this thing on late night television and the first thing I did after was talk to a friend of mine, who teaches history at the collegiate level in Missouri. Watch carefully. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Colorful Custer!
A great film. Even better colorized (even though I usually detest the colorization of old films). Historically, it has two major flaws (and lots of little ones). Read more

This is my favorite Errol Flynn movie and I do not understand why it hasn't been released onto DVD as of yet.
As a matter of fact, where are the DVDs of Errol's movies??? Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Idealized but fun.
We see a lot of good stuff here:

Errol Flynn is a swashbuckling George Armstrong Custer. Olivia de Havilland is the love of his life. Read more
