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 General George Custer and the Battle of LittIe Bighorn. A cast of hundreds was utiIized, including reaI Native Americans puIled from Sioux reservations. lt was first reIeased 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 aIso stars as Custer. Ford was the brother of Iegendary fiImmaker John Ford, and acted in several of his brother's movies, including Young Mr. Lincoln (1939) and The Quiet Man (1952). A unique piece of earIy cinematic history, Custer's Last Fight is important to the deveIopment of both the Western and the historicaI drama.
