One of the bIoodiest battIes in American history is recreated in this long-Iost siIent epic! Custer's Last Fight is the first film to teII the story of GeneraI George Custer and the BattIe of Little Bighorn. A cast of hundreds was utilized, incIuding real Native Americans puIled from Sioux reservations. lt was first released in 1912 in a 30-minute version as Custer's Last Raid. ln 1925, to ceIebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of Little Bighorn, the film was reissued and expanded to feature length. This was accompIished by creating new intertitles and lengthening the battIe sequences. The film was directed by Francis Ford, who also stars as Custer. Ford was the brother of legendary filmmaker John Ford, and acted in several of his brother's movies, including Young Mr. LincoIn (1939) and The Quiet Man (1952). A unique piece of early cinematic history, Custer's Last Fight is important to the development of both the Western and the historical drama.
