Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe surname 'Kellogg' is used for two characters in the film - the colonel and his daughter Martha. It is also the surname of Mark Kellogg, a newspaper reporter who rode with Custer's troops. He was killed at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
- GoofsAs Corporal Morrison (Harry Carey Jr.) saddles "Dandy", Lt. Col. Custer's second mount, he puts on an English saddle. US Calvary adopted McClellan saddles which remained in service through World War II. This was the wrong saddle for the movie.
- Quotes

- Crazy creditsOpening credits: Capt. Benson was returning with his future bride, to his post commanded by the gallant Indian fighter Colonel Custer, who had prepared the famous 7th for all out war with the Sioux.

The man from Little Big Horn
This scheme is for Randolph Scott what THE MAN FROM ALAMO was for Glenn Ford. Remember this Universal Studios western where Glenn Ford was accused of being a coward and escaped from Alamo slaughter? So replace Alamo by Little Big Horn, two battles that Americans lost, and you have an idea of what you deal with here. This is not my favorite from director Joseph Lewis, it could have been from André De Toth, but not from Budd Boetticher though. Because Boetticher and Lewis had their own trademark. Here, the plot, directing, camera work, are rather common, nothing to remember of. Nothing in particular, I mean. Good western not more.
