Little Big Man: Difference between revisions

''Little Big Man'' is an 1970 film directed by Arthur Penn. The screenplay is by Calder Willingham, based on a novel of the same name by Thomas Berger. It stars [[Dustin Hoffman]] as Jack Crabb, a 121-year-old survivor of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. But there's more to his life story than that: life as an adopted Cheyenne, a [[Snake Oil Salesman]], an amateur gunslinger, and an attempt to go straight before he gets embroiled in the mad dreams of a general named Custer. Sometimes a parody of the [[Western]] genre, sometimes a [[Deconstruction]].
