Western / Action (1954) 105 minutes ~ Color
Sitting Bull offers one of Hollywood’s more historically accurate accounts of the struggle for supremacy in the West. Surprisingly pro-Indian, the story centers on Parrish, a cavalry officer who believes in the rights of the Native Americans. Despite his efforts, General George A. Custer, spurred on by anti-Indian hatred, engages the proud Chief Sitting Bull in the climactic and ill-fated, Battle of the Little Big Horn. Spectacular western scenery, exciting Action sequences and great performances make this a one-of-a-kind western.
