Editorial Review: Description: Little Big Horn is the story of a Cavalry patrol that discovers a horde of Indians ready to ambush Custer's 7th Cavalry. They set out to warn Gen. Custer that he is about to embark on a mission of virtual suicide. Gritty and extremely well-acted character studies set this version apart from the familiar telling of a tragedy from U.S. history. The second feature, Rimfire: the western setting is incidental in this unglamorous, well-written, tale of mystery and suspense. The story involves the death by hanging of The Abilene Kid, who is innocent of all charges. After death "the Kid" returns to kill off all of those who sentenced him to be hanged.

 Rating:  - The Little Big HornA movie which captures the essence of what went on behing the scenes leading up too the devasting defeat of Custer at The Battle of The Little Bighorn. The movie contains several young actors who went on too have great careers in television & movies. It is a very suspensfull movie for its time Rating:  - Two quite poor westernsIt is difficult to understand if we really have seen the same films. Rimfire is a typical B-westerns which I could stand, but Little Big Horn has all the cavalry clichés like fighting officers etc. I am rooting for indians at present so I was happy that the message did not get through - which would have been against the reality. If this gets five stars, John Ford trilogy must get at least 20 each. Rating: - I Was Hoping For BetterNever having seen either of these movies, but being a fan of the "film noir" genre, I ordered them here after being made aware of them in my amazon recommendations. Glowing reviews and a cheap price made my decision easy. Well, I won't say I wasted my money, but I was hoping for better. Of the two films, Little Big Horn is by far the superior one. Both Lloyd Bridges and John Ireland are excellent in their respective roles. Though the introduction to the movie is hokey, there is plenty of action ...

Read More Rating:  - LITTLE BIG HORN-A Great, Classic Western DramaWithout a doubt, had LITTLE BIG HORN been released by a major studio, it would have achieved the genre-breaking status that HIGH NOON did a year later. Fine acting, crisp dialogue and a great script lift this one high above what must have been (knowing Lippert!) a miniscule budget. This is one of those movies that the local channels showed twice a week, every week during the fifties and early sixties. It was cut, spliced, stepped on and mistreated by most all that handled it. I am SURPRISED ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
