I really don’t remember much except the gory Sioux induction ceremony. Richard Harris should have led more films.
Amazing how such a classic film & it's 2 good sequels has fallen way down in2 the deep well of movie obscurity, at least here in the UK!
I haven't seen this but the amount of redface seems like the tip of the problematic iceberg.
I had to watch this in class in high school, so it was not the best representation. Small screen, talkative neighbours, split over two days.
Classic. Very good film.
