Little Big Man

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This 1970's Arther Penn effort captures the spirit of Thomas Berger's wonderful novel. Production values are high except for the woefully undershot Little Big Horn sequence, which despite heroic editing is a confused mess, totally out of sync with the rest of the film. Dustin Hoffman is wonderful here, as are the supporting players, particulary Chief Dan George (who was equally good in "Harry and Tonto"). The DVD is a huge improvement over the laserdisc and even gives us faux 5.1 sound.
