In Arthur Penn's adaptation of Thomas Berger's novel Little Big Man, Dustin Hoffman stars as Jack Crabb, the only white survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn. Giving a bravura performance, Hoffman plays Jack from teen years into old age in this picaresque fable of the Old West. Jack's story is a fantastic one: captured by Indians as a boy, reared as an Indian, shuttling back and forth between the white and Indian worlds. In the process, he befriends everyone from Wild Bill Hickock to George Armstrong Custer and is a gunslinger, a snake-oil salesman and an Army... scout. This is a solid blend of comedy and tragedy, making a strong statement about America's treatment of Native Americans without sermonising. A terrific cast includes Faye Dunaway, Martin Balsam and Richard Mulligan, but this show is all Hoffman's. --Marshall Fine [show more]

In this sweeping epic that swings from high comedy to drama, Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman gives a 'virtuoso performance' (The Hollywood Reporter) as the 121-year-old sole survivor of Custer's Last Stand. Narrating his colourful life story, he tells about everything from his adoption by Cheyenne Indians to his marriages and his friendship with Wild Bill Hickok. His tall tales indicate he just may be one of the biggest liars who roamed the West. Academy Award-winner Faye Dunaway, Chief Dan George, Martin Balsam and Richard Mulligan co-star.
