Featured review
Great early western picture
This film was re-released in 1922 which is the copy I saw on 16mm. Directed by and starring Francis Ford as Custer this is a very well conceived film for it's time. The drama builds from the powerful close up of the Sioux Indian at the opening as he kills 2 'innocent white men' to the climatic scene where Custer and his brother battle against the. odds as one by one they fall. The attitude towards the native American Sioux is as expected for this period but is certainly less offensive than say Griffith's portrayal of Indians as' dog- eaters' in The Battle of Elderbush Gulch released two years later in 1914. Overall the action sequences are fine and the film running approx. 20mins holds the attention well. Recommended
