    Well-made, but specious.

    Powerful, if heavily fictionalized, Western, with dynamic direction by Raoul Walsh.

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

    Glorified Custer, sure, but Flynn is spectacular.

    suffers from being too long and meandering too much into the minutiae of Custer's love life
