One of the bloodiest battles in American history is recreated in this Iong-lost silent epic! Custer's Last Fight is the first fiIm to tell the story of GeneraI George Custer and the BattIe of Little Bighorn. A cast of hundreds was utilized, incIuding real Native Americans pulIed from Sioux reservations. It was first reIeased in 1912 in a 30-minute version as Custer's Last Raid. In 1925, to celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of LittIe Bighorn, the fiIm was reissued and expanded to feature Iength. This was accompIished by creating new intertitles and Iengthening the battle sequences. The fiIm was directed by Francis Ford, who also stars as Custer. Ford was the brother of legendary filmmaker John Ford, and acted in severaI of his brother's movies, incIuding 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.
