saw this movie so very many years ago and was thrilled to have been able to purchase it after so many years...loved seeing it again

An obscure little gem. .......2007-05-12

For anyone in the advertising industry this is a must see. This is a great Dudley Moore film with some hilarious one-liners that will have you still laughing long after the movie is over.

the truth is much, much more demonic than any voices ever could be.......2007-04-12

I have personally interviewed many, many people who fell victim to the fell intentions of sanitarium staff. I even chose to spend an entire year inside the walls of one, only to find that to leave one is nigh-impossible.

THINK NAZI DEATH CAMPS...

THINK AN ENTIRE CHAIN OF PEDOFILE'S' RAPE BROTHELS, COURTESY OF THE CEO...

THINK OF THE DINGIEST, SMELLIEST, MOST VIOLENTLY AND RUTHLESSLY MANAGED DUNG-SMEARED, FIERY PIT OF DESPAIR AND HOPELESSNESS...

POLITICAL "VOTE FARMS", WITH REPS SENT EVERY 2 YEARS OR SO TO FORCIBLY, AND AS REPRESENTATIVE SPOKESPEOPLE, HARVEST THE VOICES FROM OF THE SHATTERED WILLS OF THOSE WITH NO STRENGTH AND NO VOICE...

BINGO.

I have known people, WOMEN AND MEN BOTH...spoken to them and listened to soul-shattering tales of children committed before even reaching their teens, brutally raped week after week until just months later (and again, and again, over the years) surgery was required to repair the internal damage (DO THE GAWD-FORSAKEN MATH YOURSELVES, PEOPLE!!!), repeatedly, over and over for OVER 15 YEARS WITH NO ESCAPE, NO INTEMISSION OF ANY SORT, AND NO PLACE TO HIDE!!!

don't ever make the mistake of choosing to deliberately accept commitment to a sanitarium...
whether sane, or insane, you will leave (if at all), as a frail, shattered, jumpy, twitching, drooling corpse of your former self!
AFTER ONLY A YEAR AND A HALF, IF YOU SURVIVE AND ARE RESCUED!!!

That being said...enjoy your movie...
Despite the unrealistic kindness, it will open the eyes of those who will see...
This movie presents the tip of an iceberg as large as Texas, and even closer to home...

AND FOR GODS SAKE PLEASE ASK OUR LEADERS TO STOP COMMITTING ATROCTIES THROUGH OUR TROOPS, OUR CHILDREN, THAT ARE MORE THAN 3 TIMES AS DEMONIC, AND RESULT IN HUGE POPULATIONS OF SURVIVING VETERANS TO REQUIRE COMMITMENT INTO THESE INFERNAL SANITARIUMS!!! I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THEM WHILE INSIDE SANITARIUM WALLS!

THESE WARS ARE SHATTERING THE VERY SOULS OF YOUR CHILDREN, INCAPACITATING THEIR SPIRITUALLY WITHERED HUSKS TO THE POINT WHERE A SANITARIUM IS THE ONLY CHOICE WHEN THEY COME "HOME"...
THEIR NEW HOME...
HELL...

Former mental patient doubled over........2007-03-24

I have to say, having done some time in various institutions, this film was especially funny for me. Was'nt it great how in the 80's big companies of the time were really pushing their products in creative ways through hollywood movies? If I have to look at a product being pushed in my entertainment, then at least put it in a high quality package like this movie, Crazy People.

I think you have to be born of this era (40+) to fully appreciate the humor. Companies were just learning how to market themselves well through the media and we were being treated to new tactics in advertising that were very creative and entertaining. This film captures that climate so well.

For me though, the hospital setting was just such a bonus, many of the aspects of daily life in the movie for mental patients are actually accurate. I've actually been involved with a character just like Daryl Hannah's nimpho myself while institutionalized! Maybe I should'nt say that so loud?

Anyway, I wish this were on DVD as I'm very curious as to what some of the behind the scenes stuff was like. God, what a funny unique film! If you get the chance, buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Not Bad, but Not Great either.......2006-04-02

A decent Western, Crazy Horse and Custer, brings to the screen the story of the well known Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer, one of the most controversial American historical figures of all time. Hero or Villain? Well that's easy; neither and both, since one's hero is another's villain, case closed. And speaking of, this is a pro-Custer approach.
The cast carry out their performances well enough, (though "Late Sixties" is written all over it...) the only exception being the general who is not that convincing in his role.
The dialogues could have been better too.
Nevertheless, the plot, the setting, the battles and the costumes are all above average.
Overall, though not a masterpiece, it is definitely a movie worth watching, as it will surely provide for an evening's entertainment!
For wonderful Westerns I would strongly recommend The Outlaw Josey Wales, Major Dundee and The Undefeated.

Everything you think you know about Custer.......2005-12-16

is probably wrong. Including this movie.

This "movie" from the 1967 ABC series "Custer" is just plain wrong in everything. Poorly produced, Indians all wrong even when the series was trying to make them sympathetic. Custer as a single man, no mention of family (which was the core of his life) because that would have been too restraining for the TV show.

I gave it a 2 as a curiousity of the time.

And FYI it's Wayne MauNder. Who went on to another tv western then disappeared. I believe he was a record producer into the 90's.

Before the Little Big Horn..........2004-03-12

The technical part of this review refers to the Brentwood Home Video or BCI release of this film.

Pulled from the 17 episode ABC series from 1967, "Crazy Horse and Custer: The Untold Story" is a pleasing way to spend 90 minutes if you're a fan of the western genre. We've all heard the story about the battle of the Little Big Horn, but this movie introduces us to the main characters of that battle long before that ill fated meeting. It shows how Lt. Col. George Custer took a rag tag bunch of soldiers and made them into the fine Seventh Cavalry unit they were. It also takes the viewer to the first meeting between Custer and Crazy Horse and how they had to be allies if they were to live to meet later.

Starring Wayne Mauder (who?) with Slim Pickens (under utilized) and Michael Dante as Crazy Horse, the cast features Mary Ann Mobley and the venerable Robert F. Simon.

The print featured in this release was bought by a company called Liberty Entertainment who put a title on in the beginning and end and chopped out any reference to 20th Century Fox who originally produced it. The print itself looked like it had been bicycled around and the opening credits just might make you seasick from the motion. The color is fair and once you get into the film the print is not too scratched. Not bad for the price you pay.

This movie besides being available individually is also in a 10 pack called "The Wild West". For about triple the price of this, you can get 10 pretty decent westerns. You can view this item on Amazon.com ....

Crazy Horse and Custer.......2004-01-01

I give this a 5 star rating for several reasons. The main one being that my Uncle is a co-star in this movie. He plays Captain Keogh. His real name is Grant Woods. This movie is also NOT a put together of the television series in the 60's called the Legend of Custer. But it is the original movie retitled. This is The Legend of Custer, the movie. Just a fact or two. My uncle had to learn to play the harmonica for this movie. That is really him played the tunes. And also he did his own stunts in this movie.
While the video tape leaves alot to be desired in terms of color and clarity. it means the world to me since my Uncle passed away a few years after completing this film. If you like old "B" movies, you will enjoy this!

Bad Timing.......2003-07-04

"Crazy Horse and Custer--The Untold Story" is actually a repackaging of the pilot and first few episodes of the 1966(?) ABC-TV series, "Custer," starring Wayne Mauder, Slim Pickens, and a bunch of other first-rate and quickly-recognized character actors.

ABC thought it was on to something: let's take a time-honored TV form (the western) but give "the kids" someone they can relate to--a rebellious, long-haired action hero. Thus, the idea to base a series on Lt. Colonel (nee General) George Armstrong Custer was born. On paper, it looked like a great idea; Custer had for many years been revered as a great Civil War general (which he was) and effective Indian fighter (which he wasn't) who died, "tragically," at Little Big Horn.

Alas, by the time the series hit the air, Custer wasn't such a hero. Rather, he became a symbol for the terrible treatment of Native Americans. Also, he was being seen less as a lovable rebel and more as a megalomaniacal officer who effectively murdered the entire 7th Calvary with his recklessness at Little Big Horn. Richard Mulligan's portrayal in "Little Big Man" was probably only slightly exaggerated.

All that having been said, the show had promise...a lot of stock western kind of action, but with a slight edge. Relatively accurate historically, too, as far as character names and such. Many liberties are taken, however, in the name of "good TV." The biggest drawback, as one reviewer noted, is the really poor quality of the print used. I've seen older TV shows with better footage.
