Little Big Man description Jack Crabb is the only white survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn and the centenarian shares his story in this picaresque fable of the Old West. In Arthur Penn's adaptation of Thomas Berger's novel, Dustin Hoffman plays Jack from teen years into old age in a bravura performance. And Jack's story is a fantastic one: captured by Indians as a boy, reared as an Indian, shuttling back and forth between the white and Indian worlds. In the process, he befriends everyone from Wild Bill Hickock to George Armstrong Custer and is a gunslinger, a snake-oil salesman, and an Army scout. This is a solid blend of comedy and tragedy, with a strong statement to make about America's treatment of Native Americans without sermonizing. A terrific cast includes Faye Dunaway, Martin Balsam, and Richard Mulligan. But this show is all Hoffman's. --Marshall Fine |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Social Commentary infused classic fun |
| 'Little Big Man' is a Western of sorts for the offbeat humor. It tends to have moments of pure light-heartedness in the style of 'The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean' and also has deeper commentary about American civilization versus that of the Native American tribes. It's interesting to watch. Insightful. Hilarious in parts - especially scenes involving the egotistical General Custer.
This is a classic well worth watching and remembering as it just provides not only a good story, but also perceptions of our culture and some philosophical ideals - something deeper for people to chew on. |
