If you loved The Miracle Worker, try Little Big Man
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Arthur Penn, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Miracle Worker, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Little Big Man is
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.
