Daily Dialogue — May 27, 2013

“Well, she wasn’t called Digging Bear for nothing, I can tell ya’ that.”

— Little Big Man (1970), screenplay by Calder Willingham, novel by Thomas Berger

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is sex scene, suggested by Dean Scott.

Trivia: Dustin Hoffman was entered into The Guinness Book of World Records as “Greatest Age Span Portrayed By A Movie Actor” for Little Big Man in which he portrayed a character from age 17 to age 121.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This scene is set up previously with women in the tribe whose husbands had been killed. The Protagonist Jack Crabb at the age of 121 reminisces about it this way: “Three young and healthy women with no man for who knows how long. The very idea kinda shrunk me like a spider on a hot stove.” But it didn’t keep him from fulfilling his tribal duty to provide comfort to the lonely women.
