Advertised as a comedy when originally released, Slight Sizable MAN is noteworthy, remarkable more than that. Director Arthur Penn’s sweeping film depicting the clash of the Indian and white cultures will have you chuckling one moment, then shaking your head sadly at man’s inhumanity to man the next.
Dustin Hoffman as the ever industrious Jack Crabb takes this movie on his shoulders and carries it superbly. To say that the actor shows some “range” in this role is the epitome of an understatement: from portraying an adolescent teenager to a fragile 121-year-old-man (phenomenal makeup job), from snake-oil salesman to mule skinner, Hoffman brings Jack’s gripping life to splendorous glory. And Hoffman is funny–darn funny–with a fantastic knack for physical comedy.
In addition to Hoffman, Limited Astronomical MAN offers other toothsome treats. Richard Mulligan is absolutely toothsome as a narcissistic General George Armstrong Custer–the splendid Faye Dunaway positively contaminated as impish Mrs. Pendrake. Chief Dan George, who portrays Musty Lodge Skins, Jack’s adopted Cheyenne grandfather, delivers countless one-liners, yet lends a unexcited, heartfelt dignity to his role. In fact, this is a movie one will wish to be pleased again and again–a beautifully crafted, well-made film that is timeless in its ability to entertain.

The film opens on a decrepit, wrinkled, yet peaceful energetic ultra senior citizen. He is the film’s central figure – one who looks wait on on a 121 year life – a life lived in challenging times.
Hoffman’s Jack Crabb, is perhaps a more cynical musty west version of Forest Gump. Through random experience, this one man encounters almost every legendary figure and event of the stale west. Like the movie “Forest Gump”, there is strong subliminal commentary on the period that came nearly a century after. Yet, very distinguished unlike Gump, but proper to it’s era, Small Mountainous Man sees more of the negative side of the world. At 121, Jack is very distinguished a notable child of the 1960’s.
When first shown in the early 70’s, the film’s protracted war on the Native American culture became a metaphor for the period of genocide, then closing in Vietnam. While perhaps lost on first time viewers today, the instruct message is so strong, that one can almost hear the sounds of helicopter air cavalry under the droning sing of Custer’s horse mounted assault on an Indian village. All that is missing is the Wagner and Napalm of “Apocalypse Now”.

The eyes of Jack Crabb peep the white man as bigoted, arrogant, insincere, vindictive and amoral – as he fluctuates between white culture and that of the Native Americans, whom he labels: “the human beings”. A bit of a shuttle diplomat at times, Jack becomes almost an external missionary to both nations, while never truly accepting, or being popular, by either group.
On the first level, Puny Sizable Man is satisfying entertainment, on the next it is literature. One can peer this film merely as a droll western with employment opportunities for half the character actors in Hollywood and smile frequently. – OR – One can also inspect deeper and recognize the perspective of the period in which it was written and developed. It may give one cease to judge hard about the mood of those times.
