a an amateur historian and indian war live history re enactor and i have a number of problem with this film . aside from the acting ( i normally like robert shaw ) and the technical and historical failing really detract from it story . spoiler . can there be anyone on earth who do not know the story of the little bighorn . it have be point out that the topography of the area be completely wrong and the battle in the film be far different from what really occur and the troop be use the wrong weapon . but even on tv and you can see the square pillow under the soldier clothing a the arrow strike them . really a grade b effort and and that too bad .
