User Reviews

The film is credited to Warner Brothers

The film is credited to Warner Brothers, but i cannot find it listed on their website. Have emailed them and awaiting feed back.

Film shown in the UK on BBC 1 on the 20th and 21st of August 1986 and has never been repeated. Should have been on general release, but never was.

I have asked the BBC to show it again but they cannot find it!

The film only covered the later part of his life, and i would have preferred it to have been part of a trilogy. As per the book.

The details in the book and the film correspond to the research on the Native American peoples,
