4.0 out of 5 stars They died with their boots on /Custers Last Stand, 10 Nov 2003
By Rankin Cattan "rankin_cattan" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: They Died With Their Boots On [VHS] [1942] (VHS Tape)
The story of General George Armstrong Custer and his famous last stand at the Battle of Little Big Horn,stars Errol Flynn,and is I tend to feel a rather glorified version of the actual historical facts ,in saying that it is streets ahead of its more recent made rival Custer of the west with Robert Shaw ,and is a must for Errol Flynn fans .It is worth saying that Flynn starred in The Charge of the Light Brigade and while it again was ficitionalised it is in the sense of its entertainment value a superiour film the later version of the same subject ,Watch and enjoy .

5.0 out of 5 stars They Died With Their Boots On, 4 Jun 2009
By C. W. Bradbury (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Starring Errol Flynn in the heroic role of Gen. George Armstrong Custer; and released just prior to America's entry into World War Two in 1941; the purpose of this classic film was to encourage war-fever in America's young manhood. With a Boy's Own version of military training, innumerable magnificent cavalry charges, stirring historical commentary punctuated by thunderous cannon blasts, and the band playing 'Garry Owen' this film certainly does that! The depiction of the Little Big Horn battle is pure legend; the US cavalry surrounded, outnumbered and out of ammunition, faces certain death. With sabre in hand, an indominable Gen. Custer, flag flying and full of the courage that built America, fights on to the inevitable end; shrouding both himself and his men with eternal glory!!! Even the cowardly swindler Sharpe comes good in the end, fights bravely and dies with honour.
This film sticks in the throat of the politically correct brigade, who take every opportunity to criticise both it and Gen. Custer; but to my mind, any man who leads his regiment from the front in more than fifty flatout cavalry charges to defend the country he loves deserves full respect.
I wholeheartedly recommend this film; it's a ripping good yarn!!!They Died With Their Boots On

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Flynn!!!!, 11 Jul 2007
By nmollo (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
"They Died With Their Boots On" is a classic. It is has an energy all it own and it gallops unapologetically to its inevitable final. Errol Flynn gives one of his finest performances as General Custer and Olivia de Havilland is irresistible in the part of Libby Custer.

The history portrayed in "They Died With Their Boots On" might be pure Hollywood hokum but it is still the best film ever made on this subject.

In reality General Armstrong Custer was not a liked man. In fact he was hated by his troops and despised in Washington. During his years on the Indian plains Custer's soldiers suffered terribly under his despotic and inconsistent command. Custer made enemies wherever he went. The final battle at the Little Bighorn and eventual defeat of Custer was primarily because of poor military decisions and circumstantial mistakes.

General "Longhair" Custer was no friend of the victimised Indians having been involved in cold-blooded massacres that included the wholesale killing of their defenceless women and children. The latest biography of Custer paints the man as someone verging on the Psychotic. General George Armstrong Custer was anything but a hero.

This would not do for a Hollywood film. A Hollywood film made and released during Americas involvement in World War II. America needed heroes and Custer was one of them.

That said it is very intelligent script and has some really excellent dialogue. At one point Custer offers a way out of the final battle to his comrade, an Englishman serving with the 7th Cavalry, by giving him a letter to deliver.

BUTLER: Why are you asking me to go back with it?

CUSTER: Well for one thing you're an Englishman, not an American.

BUTLER: Not an American? What to you Yankees thing you are. The only real Americans in this very old parish are on the other side of the hill with feathers in their hair!

This film is an unabashed joy and can be enjoyed for what it really is; a rip roaring adventure on a grand scale.

The DVD has a short documentary on the feature and a Warner Bros cartoon. There is also some period newsreel.

This movie continues the 'Custer as Hero' myth which really should not be taken seriously when we know what a cruel, wicked racist he was. Read more
