Little Big Man
Either the most neglected hero in history or a liar of insane proportion!
Directed by Arthur Penn
Produced by Cinema Center Films, Stockbridge-Hiller Productions
A sprawling, darkly comic revisionist Western that uses an unreliable narrator's tall tale to interrogate American mythology and the violence of westward expansion.
Jack Crabb, looking back from extreme old age, tells of his life being raised by Indians and fighting with General Custer.
