I was hesitant to watch this movie, but found it very good. It grabbed my attention with the camera shots during many action sequences. When two miners are tied-up on a run-away wagon, I could see what they saw as the wagon aimlessly traveled along a narrow road on a cliff;again when a calvary officer was escaping along a log down a canal,and when passengers were on a run-away train. Although this movie was about General Custer, we also became familiar with many of the other characters. Jeffrey Hunter always steals a scene, even as an older man and he again portrays a socially conscious character as he did in "From Hell to Eternity". this movie not have been historically accurate, but as movies go, I thought it did a good job of portraying the events that led up to the "Battle".
