In Arthur Penn's adaptation of Thomas Berger's novel, Dustin Hoffman plays Jack from teen years into old age in a bravura performance. And 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, with a strong statement to make about America's treatment of Native Americans without sermonizing. A terrific cast includes Faye Dunaway, Martin Balsam, and Richard Mulligan. But this show is all Hoffman's. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great FilmThis is probably my favorite Dustin Hoffman film. Although he is a great drama actor, he excels in comedy. He did this one masterfully. Rating: - Biting indictment of the treatment of Native Americans masquerading as a comedyBrilliant, daring film. Part comedy, part parody of every Western genre, and mostly biting commentary on the treatment of Native Americans. Superbly acted with a standout performance by Richard Mulligan as a smug yet crazy General George Armstrong Custer. Rating: - classi comedySometimes a film comes out that is simply a timeless piece of work, Such is the case for "Little Big Man" Dustin Hoffman shows that he is a true master of timing and along with his dramatic roles that he is a very sound comedian. This is a timeless film, rates with my all time favorites. Rating: - Exactly as described with fast shippingNothing to say. It's a great movie and the DVD was in excellent shape. Rating:  - Why was my review removed?In the early summer of 06, I wrote a review for this movie. Today, when I was looking to find the paperback version of the story, I though I'd take a glance at my review. And, what did I find? NO review! Why was this done, yes, I'd like to know. I've been very saddened by this action. |
