Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!

Here I am, shakily dipping my toe into the new site, which seems to be operating at 50% capacity… But, I’m told this should work and now I owe you guys two Behind the Scenes pics in order to catch up. The last one I promised was a look at the making of Little Big Man. This photo actually came from one of the men featured in it, make-up man Craig Reardon. You’ll see Craig standing in the center with make-up master Dick Smith on the right and, of course, Dustin Hoffman in his brilliant old man make-up. Bear with us as we tenderly explore this new version of the site, which is a completely different backend experience for us. Enjoy the photo!

If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.

Tomorrow’s pic features a rather famous bird.

by AsimovLives

This movie is phenomenal. Great movie, great performances, specially from Dustin Hoffmann. Also probably the most acurate portait of Gen. Custer ever. And by the way, FIRST!

One of the greatest westerns ever made

by I Max U Mini

The great Chief Dan George was always a welcome sight in any western and Richard Mulligan's pompous GA Custer was a tour de force. I have to say I didn't care much for Faye Dunaway in the film, but Carol Androsky as Crabbe's sister Caroline, teaching him to shoot was my favorite scene in the whole film.

Change is Good!

by The Dreaded Rear Admiral

It will just take time to get used to "the new normal", I suppose! It's also real good to see the return of the shark avatar!

Nice that the photo came from Craig Reardon

by skimn

..but what a poorly angled view. I seem to recall Life magazine featuring a photo spread of Dick Smith applying his magic latex work on Mr. Hoffman with a lot of pix. <p>And I have to say even moreso than Bonnie & Clyde, this is my favorite Arthur Penn film. One of the best of the seventies. Can stand alongside The Godfather, The Conversation, Clockwork Orange, etc as a seminal film from that decade.

Nice that Craig Reardon took the shot, but

by skimn

what a poor angle of a master at work. I recall a pictoral Life Magazine ran showcasing Dick Smith's transformation of Dustin Hoffman. And yes, I think Little Big Man is Arthur Penn's best film. It can stand alongside the best of that decade.

Craig Reardon

by ufoclub1977

I had just mentioned him a month ago or so on a thread here... wondered what had happened to him... he's sending in photos! Little Big Man is an amazing movie. I'd buy it on blu-ray. The definition of EPIC. I would love to see a cinematic adaptation of the author's (Thomas Berger) King Arthur tale.... "Arthur Rex"

On behalf of Craig Reardon...

by FXArtist

I spoke with Craig Reardon earlier today, and he wanted me to pass on a few interesting tidbits of history. Craig did not send in the picture, but is as happy as everyone else is to see this fantastic bit of history. He was not even aware of the photo until a few weeks ago, so it's definitely new to him as well. The photograph was taken by Max Trexel. The gentleman who is working on Dustin's hand is makeup artist Irving Pringle. Craig also wanted to say that he was just there to observe, and was not assisting Dick. He just happened to be holding the glue for him at the moment the image was immortalized. He says he was just lucky to be there!
