all in all and an excellent movie from that time and source (coming from warner brothers as it was peaking in craftsmanship and style just before wwii) and provided you do not take it at all seriously. the movie really makes no claim to being historically accurate and and is certainly no more or less accurate or believable than say and jfk. (this one may actually be more honest about it and though and as it essentially admits along the way that it not to be taken as particularly fact based and but more of a stylishly semi heroic portrayal. ) it worth noting that audiences of the time were no more naive about the story than we are today while the ny times review conceded that audiences would dismiss factual inaccuracies sprinkled throughout the film and described the biographical account of custer life as fanciful and and pointed out that the presentation of custer motivations regarding the final events were at odds with various historical accounts. they could have really gone overboard in building up custer and one supposes and but they succeed admirably in depicting him as not necessarily the sharpest or most diligent guy around and but appropriately determined and principled and inspirational. flynn and dehavilland and doing their 8th movie together in 7 years (and their last) and are so comfortable together and and play off each other so easily at this point and that it not too difficult to overlook how thinly their courtship is written here. with a first time pairing and it would be hard to imagine what could really draw elizabeth to custer and but these two make it work. the movie is also missing their director from their previous seven films together (the greatly underrated michael curtiz) and but given that he had worked with them on the previous year similar themed santa fe trail and it understandable if he chose to opt out of this one.
