Little Big Man Summary Recounting How The West Was Won Through The Eyes Of A White Man Raised As A Native American, Arthur Penn's 1970 Adaptation Of Thomas Berger's Satirical Novel Was A Comic Yet Stinging Allegory About The Bloody Results Of American Imperialism. As A Misguided 20th-century Historian Listens, 121-year-old Jack Crabb (dustin Hoffman) Narrates The Story Of Being The Only White Survivor Of Custer's Last Stand. White Orphan Crabb Was Adopted By The Cheyenne, Renamed "little Big Man," And Raised In The Ways Of The "human Beings" By Paternal Mentor Old Lodge Skins (chief Dan George), Accepting Non-conformity And Living Peacefully With Nature. Violently Thrust Into The White World, Jack Meets A Righteous Preacher (thayer David) And His Wife (faye Dunaway), Tries To Be A Gunfighter Under The Tutelage Of Wild Bill Hickock (jeff Corey), And Gets Married. Returned To The Cheyenne By Chance, Jack Prefers Life As A Human Being. The Carnage Wreaked By The White Man In The Washita Massacre And The Lethal Fallout From The Egomania Of General George A. Custer (richard Mulligan) At Little Big Horn, However, Show Crabb The Horrific Implications Of Old Lodge Skins' Sage Observation, "there Is An Endless Supply Of White Men, But There Has Always Been A Limited Number Of Human Beings."

Jack Crabb is the only white survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn and the centenarian shares his story in this picaresque fable of the Old West. In Arthur Penn's adaptation of Thomas Berger's novel, Dustin Hoffman plays Jack from teen years into old age in a bravura performance. And Jack's story is a fantastic one: captured by Indians as a boy, reared as an Indian, shuttling back and forth between the white and Indian worlds. In the process, he befriends everyone from Wild Bill Hickock to George Armstrong Custer and is a gunslinger, a snake-oil salesman, and an Army scout. This is a solid blend of comedy and tragedy, with a strong statement to make about America's treatment of Native Americans without sermonizing. A terrific cast includes Faye Dunaway, Martin Balsam, and Richard Mulligan. But this show is all Hoffman's. --Marshall Fine
