The best movie about Custer was a lengthy TV movie made in the 90's called "Son of the Morning Star". It's accurate and excellent. It shows the Indian side (featuring much about Crazy Horse) and the white side (showing Custer's personal life, his family, his courage, his egotism, his recklessness, and his odd penchant for getting into trouble). Custer was a man who took inordinate risks, and that habit finally caught up with him at Little Big Horn.

"They Died With Their Boots On" was ridiculous, all right...but it WAS highly entertaining! ;-) That's Errol Flynn for you. Never a dull moment with old Errol at the helm.
