Customer Ratings & Reviews

Little Big Man is a 1970 comedy, drama and adventure set in the 19th century west of a brother and sister raised by Cheyenne Indians with the plot centered on the life of the boy (Dustin Hoffman) told in flashback to a historian as a 121 year old man. This epic (139 mins) is spun as a yarn and begins the tale with the boy as a young lad with the Indians, to being rescued by the Cavalry, to becoming a gunslinger, to joining General Custer's 7th Cavalry as a mule skinner, then becomes a drunken hermit in Deadwood, but is rescued by Wild Bill Hickock who is murdered leading him to escape once again and this time to rejoin Custer as a scout during the Little Big Horn only to escape being killed, returning at he end of his career to the Cheyenne that raised him. Highly recommended!

Classic western and very good cast. One of my favs. Yours truly Mike Ornelas.

I was so glad I found this movie online and I enjoyed watching it again.

Good price on DVD and shipping was very quick. Would buy online again.

I saw this movie when I was 17 and loved it. I had to get when I saw it was on Blu-Ray.

It’s a great movie. I would describe it as a western version of Forrest Gump. Dustin Hoffman is amazing in it.

If you have never seen this movie, it's a must see. Great older movie

Enjoyed this movie. Interesting and some funny parts too

Please describe the audio/video quality of any Blu-Ray you review. Thanks to those who do this. I can't believe I am the first to review this Blu-Ray (it was released on Tuesday the 8th, and this is 11/13/2011). The video quality varied. The beginning had a lot of grain, which soon disappeared. I sit about 7 feet away from a 52" LCD, and I didn't notice any grain during most of the movie. The lowest rating I have ever given to a Blu-Ray movie was 4.0 on a 10.0 scale. The beginning was about a 6.5. Most of the movie was about 8.5. Some of the indoor shots were about 9.5. Overall, very good for a movie made in 1970. I was happy to see that there was DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio; it just wasn't that good. They didn't put much effort into the surround sound. The movie lasted 2 hours and 19 minutes. I believe the aspect ration is 2.40:1, but it could be 2.35:1. I was glad to see the widescreen format, instead of the 1.77:1 that is listed in the product description. The movie had credits at the end. The only person in the cast that I recognized, besides Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway, and Chief Dan George, was E. Emmett Walsh, who was the "Shot Gun Guard". I wish they had the credits at the beginning, so I would have known to look for him. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I am satisfied having it on Blu-Ray.

Timeless is timeless, and this film is worth watching again and again. Stage, live TV, and movie director, Arthur Penn (who gave Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway film-icon staus with his 1967 "Bonnie & Clyde") has enormous fun--and simultaneously delivers a meaningful message--as Dustin Hoffman gives us an endearing portrait of the "Little Big Man", the only white survivor of Custer's "Last Stand." We're talking about an absolutely wonderful piece of entertainment here--with outstanding production values and memorable performances by Hoffman, Faye Dunaway, good ol' Jeff Corey, brilliant Richard Mulligan and Native American treasure, Chief Dan George. This is, truly, a one-of-a-kind movie for all ages.
