LITTLE BIG MAN
July 1, 2015  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

This 1970 Dustin Hoffman epic, directed by Arthur Penn, is a comedy so subtle that while some scenes are played broadly, others are somewhat dramatic.  Hoffman plays a very, very old man (pictured) looking back on his life on the prairie, which includes being abducted and raised by Indians and fighting with General Custer (a delightful Richard Mulligan, from Soap). Faye Dunaway co-stars.
