Interesting facts

Little Big Horn is a 1951 American Western film written and directed by Charles Marquis Warren and starring Lloyd Bridges, John Ireland and Marie Windsor.

Production

The film was to be the first of a two-picture deal that Charles Marquis Warren had signed with Republic Pictures. Warren was a leading writer best known for Only the Valiant who wanted to become a director. The film was originally titled The Black Hills and was to be produced by Joseph Kane and star Rod Cameron. Filming was set to begin on March 10, 1950.

The film shifted to Lippert Pictures, and filming was rescheduled to start on November 7, 1950. The start of production was again delayed to February 1951.

Marie Windsor later recalled that a Lippert Films executive announced that the film's budget had been exhausted, forcing several pages to be removed from the script, and the film was completed without some of its intended scenes.
