THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON (1941)

Cast

Plot

Errol Flynn portrays the iconic/infamous General Custer in this hoof-and-thunder chronicle tracing his career from dandyish West Point plebe to Civil War hero to frontier legend immortalized by the Battle of Little Big Horn. Olivia de Havilland, sharing the marquee with Flynn for the eighth and final time, plays Custer's devoted wife Libby. Not so much a rewriting of history more a ‘whitewash', They Died With Their Boots is still rousing stuff
