custer and crazy horse DVD

Mostly good quality, looks like it was taped off a tv screen sometimes, but watchable and enjoyable. March 29, 2008

Not Bad, but Not Great either

A decent Western, Crazy Horse and Custer, brings to the screen the story of the well known Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer, one of the most controversial American historical figures of all time. Hero or Villain? Well that's easy; neither and both, since one's hero is another's villain, case closed. And speaking of, this is a pro-Custer approach.
The cast carry out their performances well enough, (though "Late Sixties" is written all over it...) the only exception being the general who is not that convincing in his role.
The dialogues could have been better too.
Nevertheless, the plot, the setting, the battles and the costumes are all above average.
Overall, though not a masterpiece, it is definitely a movie worth watching, as it will surely provide for an evening's entertainment!
For wonderful Westerns I would strongly recommend The Outlaw Josey Wales, Major Dundee and The Undefeated.

Everything you think you know about Custer

is probably wrong. Including this movie.

This "movie" from the 1967 ABC series "Custer" is just plain wrong in everything. Poorly produced, Indians all wrong even when the series was trying to make them sympathetic. Custer as a single man, no mention of family (which was the core of his life) because that would have been too restraining for the TV show.

I gave it a 2 as a curiousity of the time.

And FYI it's Wayne MauNder. Who went on to another tv western then disappeared. I believe he was a record producer into the 90's. December 16, 2005

Before the Little Big Horn...

The technical part of this review refers to the Brentwood Home Video or BCI release of this film.

Pulled from the 17 episode ABC series from 1967, "Crazy Horse and Custer: The Untold Story" is a pleasing way to spend 90 minutes if you're a fan of the western genre. We've all heard the story about the battle of the Little Big Horn, but this movie introduces us to the main characters of that battle long before that ill fated meeting. It shows how Lt. Col. George Custer took a rag tag bunch of soldiers and made them into the fine Seventh Cavalry unit they were. It also takes the viewer to the first meeting between Custer and Crazy Horse and how they had to be allies if they were to live to meet later.

Starring Wayne Mauder (who?) with Slim Pickens (under utilized) and Michael Dante as Crazy Horse, the cast features Mary Ann Mobley and the venerable Robert F. Simon.

The print featured in this release was bought by a company called Liberty Entertainment who put a title on in the beginning and end and chopped out any reference to 20th Century Fox who originally produced it. The print itself looked like it had been bicycled around and the opening credits just might make you seasick from the motion. The color is fair and once you get into the film the print is not too scratched. Not bad for the price you pay.

This movie besides being available individually is also in a 10 pack called "The Wild West". For about triple the price of this, you can get 10 pretty decent westerns. You can view this item on Amazon.com .... March 12, 2004

Crazy Horse and Custer

I give this a 5 star rating for several reasons. The main one being that my Uncle is a co-star in this movie. He plays Captain Keogh. His real name is Grant Woods. This movie is also NOT a put together of the television series in the 60's called the Legend of Custer. But it is the original movie retitled. This is The Legend of Custer, the movie. Just a fact or two. My uncle had to learn to play the harmonica for this movie. That is really him played the tunes. And also he did his own stunts in this movie.
While the video tape leaves alot to be desired in terms of color and clarity. it means the world to me since my Uncle passed away a few years after completing this film. If you like old "B" movies, you will enjoy this! January 1, 2004
