Raoul Walsh's rousing, albeit historically suspect, biopic of George Armstrong Custer offers a customarily dashing effort from Errol Flynn as the headstrong general, from his days as an undisciplined West Point cadet to his decorated service in the Civil War to the fateful battle of Little Big Horn. Olivia de Havilland (in her last screen pairing with Flynn), Arthur Kennedy, Anthony Quinn, Sydney Greenstreet also star. 139 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, Spanish, French.
The 7th Cavalry Regiment, Gen. George Armstrong Custer says, rides to hell or to glory. It depends on ones point of view. The point of view of Raoul Walshs spectacular They Died with Their Boots On decidedly favors glory. Errol Flynn portrays the famed cavalryman in this hoof-and-thunder chronicle tracing his career from dandyish West Point plebe to Civil War hero to frontier legend immortalized by the Battle of Little Big Horn. Olivia de Havilland, sharing the marquee with Flynn for the eighth and final time, plays Custers devoted wife, Libby. And composer Max Steiners stirring music trumpets gallantry and sacrifice. Seventh Regiment: Charge!
