They Died with Their Boots On description 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 ... review details |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Flynn and de Havilland's final bow |
| A great film and required viewing for fans of perhaps the greatest Hollywood duo. Yes, the history is all wrong, but watch as Flynn (at his best) takes Custer from a prankster West Point plebe to a brave and focused military leader. de Havilland's acting is, again, superb. Both the entrance scene and the one where she eats onions to impress Custer show her great comic timing. The chemistry between de Havilland and Flynn is jarring here, as each must have known -at some level- this was to be their final pairing on screen. Flynn's climb to her balcony and their embrace is reminiscient of their love scene in "Robin Hood." Watch how de Havilland and Flynn look at each other during the train ride scene. The Custer-Libby farewell is almost painful to watch. The intimacy of that scene makes me think I should not be watching such a private moment. As de Havilland's "Libby" places his belt around Flynn's "Custer's" waist, he looks at her with such longing and sadness. Flynn as Custer delivers on of Hollywood's greatest lines to de Havilland's Libby: "Walking through life with you, ma'am, has been a very gracious thing." This is more than acting, as this pair brings their film and personal relationship full circle. The haunting love theme written by Max Steiner underscores the passion of Libby and George Custer.
