About Little Big Man
Dustin Hoffman, Chief Dan George, and Faye Dunaway star in Arthur Penn’s revisionist western based on Thomas Berger’s satirical graphic novel. Jack Crabb (Hoffman), a 121-year-old white man raised by Native American tribal leaders, recounts the story of his complicated life as both Cheyenne adoptee (honorarily named “Little Big Man”) and U.S. calvaryman under Custer’s command. Crabb’s exploits are both entertaining and damning, providing the foundation for Penn’s anti-establishment allegory in the era of Vietnam. (35mm presentation)
