I've always loved this movie because it's just a lot of fun to watch. Whenever I hear the Gary Owen song, I always find myself humming or singing along.
Even when I was younger, I always found it funny how Custer "sacrifices" the 7th Cavalry to prove a point. I know this movie does take more than a few historical liberties, but this has to be the biggest. George Armstrong Custer wanted glory, but he by no means wanted to commit his regiment to a suicide mission.
With that said, They Died With Their Boots On is a great movie and I can always look past the historical liberties the director took. And I've always liked how the battle of the Little Bighorn is portrayed. Do you think they used crane shots to get those big epic shots of the 7th charging after Crazy Horse and his warriors.
