Little Big Man (1970)
A droll but critical parable about the bloody consequences of American expansionism in the Old West. Jack Crabb (Dustin Hoffman), a 121-year-old Indian* living in a rest home, recounts the amazing tale of being the Battle of Little Bighorn's sole white survivor. Reared by the Cheyenne from the age of 10 only to be snatched by whites at age 15, Crabb spends his life journeying between the two cultures in an effort to find his place in the world.
Starring: Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway, Chief Dan George, Martin Balsam, Richard Mulligan, Jeff Corey, Aimee Eccles, Jean Peters, Carole Androsky
Director: Arthur Penn
