We bid farewell to January, 2022 with one final look at Buffalo Girls 

We turn then to rancher, Ted Blue, who spent about as much time in his long underwear in the miniseries as he did in his clothes. 

Blue (actor, Gabriel Byrne) was more than a boyfriend and lover to Dora DuFran (actor, Melanie Griffith). He was a friend and confidant as his role in the miniseries was primarily to jump into bed with the breathtakingly, lovely Miss DuFran. The first bedroom scene was abruptly interrupted by...  

...who else?! Miss Calamity Jane, giving credence once again as to why she was known as "Calamity!"

Blue wasted no time rolling out of bed, grabbing his clothes and gun, 

making his gentlemanly out the door exit, still in his union suit.

And later, poor Blue, climbing up a rain gutter to secretly join his true blue love, fell twenty feet on to a shed, breaking his leg. The gutter had broken loose from the house. 

After Blue recovered from his broken leg, he was soon back in the saddle, 'er bed, again:

It's Movie Trivia Time!  And the winner is....

Viewer Discretion Advised

Our winner of "Movie Trivia Time?".... Josh of St. Joe, Missouri, was the first to identify the show featuring Custer at his last stand: The scene pictured below was actually taken from the 1995 CBS three-part mini-series, Buffalo Gals. The actor who played Custer was John Diehl. Historians from eye witness accounts from both sides agree that Custer, aged 36 at the time, was stripped of his boots and uniform, shot twice but was not scalped as were his relatives and soldiers. Two of Custer's brothers were present at the massacre, Tom and Boston, as was his nephew, Autie Reed. All were stripped, scalped and mutilated. After the battle, two Indian women shoved arrows into Custer's ears so he would listen better next time, in the after-life. Not a pleasant ending. The two famous Indian leaders who headed the massacre: Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse.

Thanks to Max, Trevor, Rob and Paul for emailing their take. Good job guys. Also, Peter Kenth who had another very good guess, submitted last night, of a miniseries I had not seen: Son of the Morning Star, a 1991 ABC two part movie with Gary Cole starring as Custer. One difference between the two shows is Cole was stripped to only his long white drawers, no undershirt, while Diehl was left in a white union suit. 

See Peter's comments below. The battle scenes are very similar in both mini-series. I wonder if Buffalo Girls took the panoramic shots from Son of the Morning Star?  

Viewer Discretion Advised. The trivia question was: "From what movie, tv show or mini-series is this picture taken and who is the actor who plays George Armstrong Custer at his "last stand," stripped down to his union suit ?!?!?!"  

Bonus questions... What actually happened to Custer
at the Battle of Little Bighorn,
and who were the two famous Indians who took part?

These scenes of Custer from Son of the Morning Star with some differences, such as Custer being left wearing only his drawers, rather than a union suit as in Buffalo Girls.
