richlieu Review of Son of the Morning Star

Son of the Morning Star (1991)

somewhat long, but worth every minute!

[13 February 1999]

If somewhat long, this epic "western" tells the story of Custer´s last defeat and tries to show what kind of man he was. Cole gives a stunning performance and the film is made interesting when seen thru "2 pairs of eyes", the wife of Custer seeing it from a white point of view and the Indian girl telling the truth about a black chapter of America´s history

Definitely worth watching!
