Endures as one of the finest Flynn-de Havilland collaborations.

While Gen. George Armstrong Custer is a historical American figure worthy of a biopic, They Died with Their Boots On does not do proper justice to his life and career.

They Died With Their Boots On is often so outlandish that viewers will instantly realize that history is getting assaulted and murdered right before their eyes. Yet the results are so entertaining that it’s hard to get too indignant.

Indisputably well-acted, incredibly shot and inimitably dangerous-looking to the point where people actually died, but also interminably boring for long swaths of time.
