Little Big Man tells the story of Jack Crabb, a man who lived his life amongst white settlers and the Indians, yet was always on the fringes. The film is very funny, yet at times fairly depressing and quite moving. Dustin... Full review

This could very well be the best movie you've never seen (or heard of). LBM is a good example of how movie-making took some sort of quantum leap forward in late '60s/early '70s. Almost 40 years after its release i believe... Full review

I love this movie. It was my introduction to the flip side of the western genre - what it might have been like to be an indigenous person dealing with the westward expansion of the US. It's often funny, but at... Full review

Accompanied beautifully and appropriately by the blues music of John Hammond that underscores the improvisations that Hoffman's character must make, Little Big Man remains a truly magical movie that works well. Younger viewers may think that the first major Hollywood feature to show Native Americans as real people with a tremendous sense of humor are greatly overlooking Little Big Man . ... Full Review
