The Glory Guys

1965 · 112 min

A sturdy, old-fashioned cavalry western that mixes barracks camaraderie and romance with a grim, doomed march toward battle.

Tagline
Eee-Yo!!! Here comes the Glory Guys!
Overview
Though a fictionalized Western based on George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry Regiment at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, the film is almost a generic war story covering the enlistment, training, and operational deployment of a group of recruits that could take place in any time period.
