This movie tells the story of George Armstrong Custer, or mainly the myth of the man. We see his victorious battle in the American Civil War and his falling in love with Elizabeth "Libbie" Bacon". They Died with Their Boots On (1941) is directed by Raoul Walsh. It marks the eight and the last time Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland worked together. Mr. Flynn is just the right man to portray Custer. Ms. de Havilland is not only beautiful but has got all the talent to play Mrs. Custer. This great actress is still with us at 101, turning 102 next month. Her co-star from Gone with the Wind, Hattie McDaniel, gives a rather funny performance as Callie. Arthur Kennedy is terrific as Ned Sharp. Charley Grapewin is a lot of fun as California Joe. Anthony Quinn is superb as Crazy Horse. Sydney Greenstreet is magnificent as Lt. Gen. Winfield Scott. There's a lot of good in this movie. The portrayal of the Native Americans isn't as racist as it often is in these movies. The battle scenes are well done. And there's the chemistry between the main actors. It couldn't get much more romantic than Errol and Olivia kissing and sweet talking with each other. Even though this biography could be highly fictionalized, it is entertaining nonetheless.
