## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Arthur Penn here asks if the Western can be a bit of a yarn. A 121-year-old man recounts being raised by the Cheyenne before joining up with Custer. It does take a certain something to make a revisionist Western comedy that's almost three hours long.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, outsider, playful
