A film by Arthur Penn about a man who survives the West and the Cheyenne nation, played by Dustin Hoffman and Chief Dan George. Roger Ebert praises the film's yarn-like structure, its humor, its violence, and its portrayal of the Indian culture.
As a white man, Crabb hunted buffalo, tangled with Wyatt Earp, cheated Wild Bill Hickok and survived the Battle of Little Bighorn. Part-farcical, part-historical, the picaresque adventures of this witty, wily mythomaniac claimed the Wild West as the stuff of serious literature. Show more.
