Loved the movie.
“Today is a good day to die”
~~ Little Big Man
My favorite line from the movie:
“I have a wife and FOUR horses!”
“I have a horse and FOUR WIVES!”....................
“Sometimes the magic works, and sometimes it doesn’t.”
“My poor sister. They never did come for her.”
“That was the end of my religious period”
I remember the movie as a wet dream of Cultural Marxism, but a highly entertaining one. The interactions with historical figures reminds me of Flashman. Might be worth a read and re-watch.
The huckster who kept losing body parts was a great sub plot also.
Berger is one of my favorite authors - the Reinhardt books, Sneaky People, The Feud - so many excellent works, such a talent. One of the last major authors to have served in WWII. He’ll be missed.
One of the very few interviews with Thomas Berger (from American Heritage) and it goes into much detail about the author’s truly American spirit:
