Jack Crabb, 121-year-old nursing home resident, relates the story of his life, raised by Cheyenne Indians, and who fought under General Custer. Picaresque tale told in flashback, beautifully photographed and acted. Sympathetic portrayal of Native Americans. Chief Dan George as Old Lodgeskins received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Forrest Gump (1994) borrows its narrative style from this film.
